Great weather so kept imaging

Here is the Horse Head and Flame

LRGB 40:30:30:30

Thanks to Mill I used DPP in my pre processing and it seems to have sorted the clipping out.

Comments welcomed

(Starting to get used to the 4000 now, its differnet to the 314L)

Very nice indeed! How would you describe the 4000 being different from the 314L though? The reason I ask is that if ever I were able to save the cash, I'd like a 4000 too... (also which scope did you use...?)

The 314L is good for close long fl. The 4000 gives you more real estate to image and play with. It depends on where you want to be at with your imaging. If you want to do wider larger FOV then the 4000 is perfect mid size entry.

Very nice image indeed.

I like your rendition of the Flame & HH, good detail. It's seems a good idea to have a square sensor, it would seem to make better use of the available light circle.

Thanks all for comments. Yes a square sensor helps to reduce vignetting.
