Very nice effort indeed,

surprised you only went for 30 minutes worth of data as what you have is good,

as X6gas  said, it has a lot more to give, but I sure would be happy with that.

Well done 

Paul

Impressive, what a great way to show people what's up there...even more so with single 10 minute exposures..

Imagine staking 10 /20 exposures how deep you could go

Well done

Paul

Sometimes when processing it's knowing when to stop and call it a day...As it can drive you nuts trying to get the most out of the data and moulding into the best rendition possible.

I am sure you will get it just where you need it

Paul

Well done on getting a adapter made...I dare say...there could be a outlet for that kind of adapter...as I have come across the same problem of reaching focus..

I am sure I am not alone on this...

The Ha photo looks very good indeed.

Well done

Paul

What a cracker...you must pleased it has all come together.

Looking forward to seeing your next project.

A nice take on the pacman nebula..very subtle processing, I like it

Well done 

Paul

Very nice colours and detail.

The 3nm filters have done a great  job on this target.

Well done

Paul

Nicely done..not overworked, to me a perfect balance.

Well done

Paul

Very nice...don't very often see this part of Cygnus with this much detail...colours looks good..

What scope and camera set up was you using

Well done 

Paul

Love it, processing looks ok to me

Plenty of detail and colours look good

Well done

Paul

Blimey that's a draw dropper,

Congratulations on gathering and processing the data so well.

wall hanger for sure.

well done 

Paul

I can only dream of such data, wow what a impressive shot taken 

on some serious astro equipment.

Thanks for sharing 

Paul

A great start to a project,

I hope the weather stays kind for you,

Paul 

Nice data and very nicely processed,

love the colors and detail coming through

well done

Paul 

Very nice indeed, 

I like version 2,  but I dare say you will be doing several versions until you settle on one that

you like the most,

Great data, and nicely processed well done.

Paul 

Nice colors and detail coming through,

well done 

Paul

Very nice result indeed,

Nothing worse than trying to get things sorted out  with the hardware /software

There's only so much you can do before your under the stars hoping it all comes together,

and by the look of it I think you've cracked it Adam,

well done 

Paul 

Nice result, even more so that it was unguided,

very nice colors , I can not remember the last time someone posted a pic using a vc200L

Results speak for themselves.

Well done

Paul

Wow that's getting up close and personal,

I take my hat off to you for capturing this at toes focal lengths 

very nice image well done

Paul

Wow, that's not good, glad you found the issue and sorted it.

Beware of this 'scope. I have one and it is *very* sensitive to spacing and squaring on. It is *just about* usable with a not-too-big sensor, but I think anything above an ASI1600 size will be pushing the tolerances.

@ultranova had one, and we had a very long exchange of PMs trying to sort out the spacing before he got fed up and sent it back. I think he got his through a UK dealer which made it easy, but mine came direct from TS so I ended up hanging on to it.

It may well come with a TS camera rotator instead of the tilt adjuster, which can make working out the spacing from TS site data tricky to say the least.

Indeed we did have a good chat trying to resolve the spacing issues,, I wasted 2 clear nights trying to resolve the the warped stars at the corners , it wasn't  the fact the the camera needed tilting as the star distortion was very even in all four corners,

which for me , I could not live with, and I wasn't seeking perfection,, it was a real shame as it is a beautiful scope.

If I was you Carole I would really take your time on deciding and picking something, as Like Olly said, unfortunately, like most things you only get what what you pay for , there are exceptions I dare say but very rare. 

I wonder which one of the Astrophotography  softwear giants are going to ,

do a plug in for the software , rightly called satellite trail eliminator.

Paul

Cracking image DataLord, well done,

I think Beauty is going to be in the eye of the beholder on this one.

Paul

lots of depth and good separation of stars

Looking good,

Paul

Nice touch on adding the extra data,

looks very good.

well done
