I agree it needs rotating. My rotator was playing up and couldn't be bothered to go out in the cold and do it manually to get the framing right. It is a crop but I didn't rotate in pixinsight, well, not yet.

think I lost patience with GHS, for some reason the midtones were giving me a headache and it went down hill from there with my commitment, should have back stepped and cheated with statistical stretch. Would have probably been in a better head space when playing with some colour masks and curves

Thanks. Just really wasn't feeling it when processing it. I think the data is good but I've let it down. I'm sure there is so much more in there.

Why the F does he say "dying" in that dumb way?

He's a vile weasel. Set fire to a pet shop as practise for burning down the NHS.

A Poundland Kyle Rittenhouse.

F'ing tragic.

It is a bright spot, although the majority of BSky is still better than the hellscape of Twitter.

Thank you.

Really should update that pic. Went back to mono in the spring after an extended time using OSC cameras.

They are a newish Taiwanese company. Nico Carver reviewed it and it performed well against his Tak.Cuiv had a preproduction model and apart from pinched optics it looked good. It's f3.9 so it's gonna be hard to get ultra sharp but the extra speed might be nice and as you say, BXT can sort the rest.

yeah, is it just the minicat or the standard 51 too?

I still find it shocking that the redcat star shapes are so bad that WO put in the literature that you have to use BXT with it.

that's what annoys me about the SQA too and that they make you buy the belt kit as an add-on to something that is designed as an astrograph so is almost definitely going to be used with an EAF. It is incredibly sharp though but the Draco comes very close to it for sharpness.

little bit more aperture and faster too. Also no need for a belt kit for an EAF. www.firstlightoptics.com/founder-opti...
