Nice going Jorge, maybe a bit soft on focus but I do like the widefield, good on ya

Thanks, Bob. I think that is more than issue of focus. Since I changed the extensor to my Coma Corrector, that is an ordinary GSO, I lost the perfect round shape of stars. I will test it. I will capture with it (coma corrector) and without it, to check.
