I hope youi guys don't get angry but this was really my 1st DSO on Nov. 2012, I swear. It's # 0 photo as I've classifiend My DSP pics with numbers. 

An M42 with two different processings. Since then I've been diving more and more into DSO imaging and Pixinsight.

The reason for a "not very ugly" pic has really to do with my laziness. I just love the KISS principle. Murphy seems to be quite allergic to it :-) You see, I waited and learned, waited and learned, waited and learned...and finally when got to do my 1st image I actrually had learned one very simple but extremely useful Rule: It's not me...it's my gear that takes the photos!

what I mean by this is that if you actually hit straight on with the right setup...it's a whole lot easier.

Btw, here is my 1st year album (15.11.12 to 15.11.13):

I'm currently processing my 2nd year album (after a lousy winter) and I'm also posting here on SGL.

I don't get one thing I read here: the SW FF seems to do wonders on the Equinox ED80, however it sucks on the Onyx ED80. I have both scopes (going to sell one and keep the other...haven't decided which) and the

seem to be twin OTAS. Same focal length, same aperture same F/ratio, same FPL53 glass...how can the resilts be so different?

I've bought quite a few things from Lee and I only have great things to say about this store. They are top notch. Actually FLO and Green-Witch are my buyer reference stores in the UK and I recommend these two stores to all my friends in Portugal.

Lee and Steve...thanks a million for you excellent service.

All the best,

Hi, my name is Paulo Mesquita and I live in Portugal.

I've bought a scope and a high end EP from FLO and have the best opinion possible about FLO. I've recommended it to friends who aer now regular buyers and will go on doing so. Keep um the great work, Steve.

And I'm not saying this because FLO sponsors SGL.

I'm just calling as it is. As an experienced advertiser (23 years into the business) and with my marketing knowledge, I know how to recognize a quality service. And FLO is top class.

Congrats.... and keep um the excellent work.
