Taken with my Canon 70D  through my EdgeHD 925. PSE 12 Photomerge refused to combine them!

Very nice.

Are you using a full aperture filter on the 9.25?

[Steve Ward]

Nice one , try "iMerge" to combine them ...

Very nice.

Are you using a full aperture filter on the 9.25?

Yes - the Celestron one (whilst they were still making them!). Getting a decent focus continues to be a challenge in bright sunlight so some heavy unsharp mask in PSE!

[JB80]

It's tough on the larger apertures and I think it's mainly due to the seeing conditions and hot air currents, one second you can swear you are in focus and the resulting pics are a fuzz ball.

I think you have done quite well with that.

Very nice and good to see that these EdgeHD scopes work on some thing closer to home.

Wow.  A 9.25" full aperture filter!  That must be something to have fun with.
