        16" Maksutov (upgraded from the 10") with GPS alignment and MPC. Fortunately I'd over-bought the mount/drive and didn't have to replace it, just adapt the new scopes rings. No I'm not rich; I bought the 16" cheap at an estate sale. Too good to pass up

        The Orion image was taken using 11 100 second luminance, 3 100 second red, 3 100 second green, and 3 100 second blue exposures using the Maxim DL/CCD software. I had more images but tossed a bunch that were blurred from twinkle etc.

        Could be sharper, but I'm still shaking it down.

            You might give RegiStax a try, its multipoint alignment function could help a bit.

              Actually I think it's a misalignment of the CCD more than anything, but I'll take a look ar RegiStax anyhow. Thx
