Nice work Neil, the 685 filter bringing out some nice detail!

Some superb detail on show Neil. I think the antares secondary will improve the contrast which will be especially useful during these early light mornings.

The secondary was smaller than the Orion matched. But not stopped down.  So optimal  in figure and size. I was hoping it would help. 

I am unsure ? But it is collimating better. Must have been positioned better is my only guess ?

Looking good particularly the Saturn capture.
