Only one comment on this particular image - the stars are largely burnt out, and I dont know whether it is your processing technique, but a number of them appear to take on bit of a rhombic shape? Is the CDK prone to mis-collimation easy or does it hold it well?
Otherwise, a fine image indeed.

Hi Martin,
When I mounted it and took the first images I checked CCD inspector and it showed collimation as being accurate from the factory. I haven't collimated it yet as it was perfect. It isn't moved, it sits on its mount and images look the same now as then so the collimation should be fine.
I hadn't particularly noticed odd stars but probably a consequence of the spider as usual with any compound scope. I may need to do shorter
sub exposure times. 17 inches collects a lot of light.

PS totally jealous of the scope, camera and mount, so not fair!!!

Thanks Dave. It sure is an unfair advantage.
