Setup's First Light on M51 - Fuzzy stars

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

After a lot of blood,sweat and tears, I have everything connected in the obsy and talking to each and here we go!!

Quite pleased with my first crack at M51 (not sure I have sorted my flat generation properly yet). 150PDS with an Atik 314L+ guided with PHD.

Question is - are the stars like they are due to poor focus or poor collimation?

Many thanks

Thanks guys.  But my stars are fuzzy and not uniformly so, looks like only below the centre of the star is affected.  Any ideas on which part of the setup would cause this?  My guys is focus or collimation?  I am using a coma corrector.

Many thanks.
