Snowglobe! I have a very crappy image of this, yours is much better. Now I'm tempted to try it again. lol

Very nice! I can't get more than 15 minutes a night so I haven't tried it yet.

405mm and the cameras is APS-C sized.

Give the hocus focus plugin a try, and set default improvement down to 10% or greater. I refocus every hour using the advanced sequencer. It's still not perfect and can be fooled, but I like the fact it takes an image, records the HFR, runs focus, then compares new HFR to old. Good luck!

Thanks Andy.

That's a sad attitude to have, I hope it's not too prevalent. What if one applied that statement to anything else? We do things because we can, we learn, we experience, we create a souvenir that we made. Not sure how else to explain it.

I'm an amateur astrophotographer.

yes

Very nice, and a doublet at that! Seti Astro has released a suite of free tools that somewhat mimic the paid versions if your interested. Siril, also free, with the free Starnet plugin to remove stars will really help as well.

Here's my version, also Pixinsight, and used Seti Astro tools plus the Xterminators. Increased saturation using Siril. I prefer to show the dusty background and you have a lot of good data, given more time this could look even better. What scope/camera combo?
