Shawn that is great... and I thought the 14 inch would only be a guide scope... you have little to worry about with that tracking.
Good on you mate all your hard work really is showing thru ...excellent.

The focal lenght of the 14 inch is about half way to that object.. what is it Shawn 3500mm ??? you gotta try a 5x barlow and the DSI... that will test your guiding.
I had a Meade 6.3, but the vignetting was too much with the setup, Im exploring other options at the moment, Im open to suggestions from anybody really, One of the blokes on the other forum have "Ithink its called Faststar" whereby the secondary is removed and the camera sits right in the middle of the corrector plate turns em into an F4.5 or something like that.. but the setup is not a swap and change easily one...
Ill have a hunt over the net and see what else is available in the way of a FR..
Now shes guiding well at 3.6 meters, anything less would be no problem at all.
There is a lot to learn...
The Fasstar set up requires the camera to be mounted in effect where the secondary is I think Shawn so you may have to put the 350 in the lath and turn it down... no! well you will need a astronomy type camera..round ... still maybe you could fit the 350 and place a disk around it..as big as that would be withthe 14 you would not lose that much light relatively... a 6 inch circle would be ..off the top of my head about 30 sq inch intrution on an area of approx..off the top of my head... away from 150 sq inch... so its not that much ... I had not thought of that approach until now... but even with a 6 inch circle out of it you would have heaps of light and a magic f/l I woulf imagine...interesting.
Persoanlly if I were you I would be running with what you have and enjoy a break from the development of your set up ...you have been working so hard .. capture what fits and enjoy that...

Shawn, Gerry Aarts has the Fastar for his C11..however I am not sure if this is available for the C14
You can reach Gerry through the WSAAG homepage, he is el presidento
Thankyou for your comments and advice gentlemen, rather sounds like I had better get cracking on a mosaic, to get the two satelites in the image will require a 5 by 5, just m31 a 4 x 3 or best guess, that a lot of images, but its the right time of year so what the hell,
I am no expert but I have heard that a lumicon giant easy guider will give F6.3 and F5 on C11's C14's with no vignetting. It is a huge thing with an 80 mm lens. I got one second hand, but havnt used it yet as currently i am learning imaging through my Meade ED80.
Thanks for the complements and Zuts for the info, Ill look into that...
The details were 3 x 200 with the 350 on the 14, guided with the 100 although I dont think the guide actually did any corrections. one dark subtracted, and a quick LR deconvolve.
Using IPfor imaging and calibration and Envisage to guide..
Thanks Again for the input, there is no doubt that if it was not for forums like this one I would still be floundering in the dark quite literally with my imaging.
I agree with the comments...its a fine closeup of the core Shawn
You have done well at such a long focal length and a object that is always low in the sky for us!!
but its the right time of year so what the hell,
