Thanks Peter. ooooh if you only knew the processing work to get that flat frame look! This scope is a bit weak in that respect.
I am also looking forward to seeing what this scope can do in a true dark site with reasonable seeing this time of year.

Thanks for that. Long exposure seems to be the key.

Thanks Mike.

The scope has a tendency to have a hot spot and I find flats don't flat it out that well at times. Part of that is light pollution and part is the fact of a corrector. The BRC250 also had a hot spot in the centre of the image. It may be common with corrector type mirrored systems.

Thanks very much Ross.

I was imaging last night and looked through my files. I see I have quite a bit of data I haven't processed yet. Like finding $20 under the sofa seat!
