now looking forward to doing some serious wide field imaging

Looking very good Paul.  Could you summarise the issues that you had to sort out?

Hi Mike,

Had problem with Star shapes, but adjustment of focuser alignment sorted this.

The stars are suffering from compression on here, Paul, but I assume they look good at full res since you're happy. They are certainly nice and small!

Impressive.

hi Olly

yes at full resolution there fine, and nice flat field.

when i get next clear night, i try post crop of full res on the 4 corners of a image , best a star field.

I'm also just starting to build my own web page where you could view high res shots,  or find a source on the internet that allow a full image.

cheers

I put my stuff on SMugMug for a modest annual fee and there's no compression.

Fabulouse image, lovely detail and nice star colour...

Forget phase, I have thrown the towel with it, my images have started to deteriate over the last few years, photobucket & flickr also heavily compressed..

Think I will try smugmug,

Very nice Paul, lots going on in the image. A little blue/cyan on my monitor - if so that would lift the nebulosity
