Thanks Dave. So far I'm not that impressed with the scope.

I'm hoping it's down to the seeing if not then I have bought

myself a £2000 lemon.

Seeing is pretty rubbish here Shaun, did you use a focal reducer ? I find the seeing needs to be pretty good to use my Quark in 100 and 110 refractors without .5X f/r using PG BFly also get bad Newton rings without it, on 'tother hand Dave Smith in Essex finds the opposite.

Some nice detail in those close ups the seeing should help when it improves.

Best I could do of the same area Daz, seeing was poor.

Which cam did you use on these Daz? Any changes as they look quite grainy/noisy compared to your usual shots.

[dazzaa1966]

Same has before Freddie Point Grey Chameleon.

I guess conditions were not on your side for those shots then.

It's a lovely scope though which I assume will also be used for DSO work?

Nice images especially in poor conditions.thanks for sharing.

What are you not impressed with ? If those are bad photos can't wait to see what you think are your good ones!

[DrRobin]

My guess would be the longer focal length has taken your set up over the optimum for the camera and conditions Dazzaa, sorry forgot what scope you used to use? You might also have a look at the diagonal, any difference in droop might need a re-tune, although looking at your images, the tuning looks pretty good to me, so I guess it is the longer focal length?

Still a couple of crackers as far as I am concerned.

Just been looking at them and they do appear sharp in the centre and fuzzy round the edges, whereas mine look fuzzy all over, not sure what would cause that effect, I use two 2" extensions and image straight through using FLO adapter and Baader click lock, seemed to get better results than using diagonal.

Good images! I was imaging at the same time but seeing wasn't good and they turned out rather soft.

Great pics. seeing wasn't great down here in Bucks but when the seeing settled I could see this detail

Cracking close ups :)
