A colourful spider

Switching between cameras and pixel resolution offers nice flexibility. Wide field and narrow field results all in one scope. Now that's a feature. I am betting with an AO, tighter guiding, doing lots of subs and tossing bad ones would yield an even higher resolution result. Clearly OAG is the way to go here. Hope you get the chance to add more data.

Yep with the two cameras the AG12 can deliver the best of both worlds and yes, even though it's not too bad already certainly some more data is really needed. The seeing was good for the collection of this small data set though with the average guide errors holding steady at below +/- 0.1pix or +/- 0.3" so data rejection was not warranted. Of course, as you say, one would imagine that an AO unit might up the ante even further....I may consider getting one

Sorry I don't mean as sharp ( the seeing IS much better here) but by using NB filters with your new CCD you could punch through the dog track and neighbours lights ...not the smoke I believe you have at the moment though
