red acorn
33 x 60s Red, Tak76DCU, AM3, ASI294MM, 0.81” pix scl, SQM 18.6. Windy night but seeing good. FWHM approx 2.6”. Which implies seeing around 1.6” and excellent optics, given my guiding was around 0.8”. First image from this rig.
Happy with resolution, needs more depth ideally to get the fainter stars. Gradients need work, but will wait until I get a complete data set. Blue next when I get a weather window, whenever that will be!

What is wip?
red acorn
Work In Progress....WIP
DSS for the same FOV has 10500 stars, this has 7500, so more depth needed
interestingly though, this image spilts more stars, no doubt BlurX, havent run BlurX on DSS yet, so no compartive...also blue shift stars will be missing, but so far, takeaway for me is that this wide field rig is delivering the goods...not bad for a visual scope
