Seems like a fantastic piece of gear you've got there, now I want one as well...
I'm certainly looking forward to more of this

Thanks Rolf. I've had the AO for a while actually (2yrs). I bought it to image with the C11 at prime. Figured out really quick that I would never be able to guide at 3m FL. Then the hyperstar got in the way of long FL imaging and all the surgery I did on the poor thing. It's only recently with your IR work when I tried to do it and dusted off the AO. I plan to use it a lot more to do IR work with the refractor now.

Thanks Greg. Not as good as they could be. Funny shape still. Bit of flaring on the big ones. Still to track down where that comes from. Can't blame the guiding this time. I had something similar with the QHY8 on occasions when the camera wasn't exactly square in the focuser tube extensions.

Thought I'd commented on this. Lovely tight stars in the centre. Wish I could justify AO

Thanks mate. Look at it this way. It's something you buy only once and you can use it on many scopes. When it works it's beautiful. It's a real pita to setup though, let alone power it.

That's a very nice image Marc, especially for just 90mm of aperture! Some very good detail in there

A great photo Marc.

Amazing detail and beautiful tones.

Nice composition too.
