Andromeda using my new Borg 45

[madjohn]

Was out with my mate Andy last week at Newlands corner, Guildford.

Was looking forward to using my new toy, a Borg ED 45, yes that's right, a mighty 45mm of aperture!

The conditions wern't very good with milky cloud everywhere, plus loads of condensation, but I thought I'm here, lets have a play and have some fun!

Took some images of Andromeda on my astrotrac, and the coma at the edges was quite astounding!

However I'm sure using my William Optics field flattener next time will sort it!

Comments and opinons welcome, this was just a rough and ready test, anybody here using a Borg 45 to image and can give a few tips to get the best out of it?.

The coma is very apparent, but all in all, I like the image. You can make out some lanes in there and you have it's wee friends there too. Well framed and personally, I think the wider capture is much nicer.
