I do like the first version Sara, lovely detail, i like that subtle dreamy look, even though not a lot of colour variation,

Thanks both! It's the HST one for me Fay, but I am known to be a bit wild with colours!!!

Either version is an excellent result Sara, as you say different targets produce different results with Bi colour.

You can get inventive with mixing the two filters & using layers but it is what it is.

Your comfort zone is clearly your frac, i don't blame you either, it's not at all easy imaging at F10 & F6.3 is not that much more forgiving either BUT the SCT does have it's place.

My first setup was the 8" SCT on a CG5-GT using a DSLR, some may say i was mad starting with that setup BUT it does force you to learn very quickly to 'try' & get the best from it.

I will hang onto mine, for now, as with the new mount, EQMod & more time imaging things 'seem' to be progressing.

I too enjoy the frac over the sct mainly for the fov though, of course the optics are a bonus as well.

Looking forward to your next outing Sara.

Amazing images.

Thanks Ewan and Mary.

The frac just produces the goods, the longer focal length SCT a little less so. It also requires totally different processing techniques. Still, there's a place for longer and shorter focal length imaging in my heart!!!
