I like the colour in this version over the FSQ version but I prefer the field of view and detail of the FSQ version. Maybe a mosaic or perhaps you could get the 50100 by FLI. That would give you a bigger field of view.

Thanks Paul. The FSQ one turned out well and its a pleasing image for sure. The 50100 would be awesome but its all a bit expensive for me. It would also need a new filter wheel and 65mm filters.
I saw the first image taken with one though - wow.

Was it the one taken by Wolfgang Promper? I have had some recent discussion with him regarding a flattener for the GSO RC 12. Surprisingly he has the 50100 sitting on the RC. He also has a very nice OS scope too.

Yes. He used a TV 127i which FLI are promoting as an astrograph. I guess its similar to an FSQ130 for a fraction of the price. I don't think it would be a good match for the RC12.It has 6 micron pixels and needs a large enough corrected field, 63mm. There would be very few scopes with a large enough corrected field for that one.

Nice pleasing colour Greg and lovely tight stars. Have to say that I prefer the FSQ version myself.

Cheers

Thanks Steve. I should never have linked the FSQ version !
