Yes, that is priceless advice. I have gone through 3 mounts before finding paradise with the Mach1.

Nice composition and great field of view! What was your processing approach? Close up, it seems to have an interesting microtexture.

Gamma Cygni and IC 1318 - Ha RGB

Posted By Ivan Ong

Very nice indeed! it must be the first of the kind on this forum.

Quick questions:
-how do you focus? Doesn't focus shift slightly?
-do you dark subtract your H-alpha frames?

Thanks

Peter-I have been enjoying what you have been doing with your Televue 85. Your compositions and processing are fantastic. Not many people show work with the TV-85, and from what I can tell, it is a wonderful astrograph.
