Nothing like skill and quality equipment.

That is exactly the same rig I have except I am not at 4000m. I have been considering a remote setup in the SRO for the last 6 months, this image is not helping me say no to that idea.

Thanks, Paul! It's nice to have seeing that's better than the resolution of the gear for a change. I'm hoping we'll get a long FL instrument on that mount at some stage.

Thank you, Rob. The big image is 64 megapixels as a result of the drizzle so bringing them down to 200kB isn't going to provide a good representation.

Thanks, David! I'm just putting the final touches on the Wizard Nebula and I have several more queued up.

Thanks, Geert. I didn't add any spikes. I think what you can see on a few of the brighter stars is from the microlenses on the KAF-8300 sensor. I have a Starlight Express camera with the same sensor that also does this.
