Crescent Nebula, with a softer touch,

[beamish]

Fair to say more data is required to really make the most of this. I clearly still have one or two issues re flat plane (re star shapes) to resolve but I'm almost there. Still need to determine if it's with the camera or the mirrors/collimation ( I'd plumb for the latter)

So a cropped version with a bit more time and a softer hand !

20x 3mins and 5x 5mins plus flats, darks and bias frames. Conds weren't ideal last night but too good to just go to bed !!

Very much improved, I like the softer look myself.

If this image is uncropped, then I'd agree, something misaligned in the light path.
