Greg, That's a good image of the Blue Snowball. Did you observe it at f/10, or did you use a focal reducer? Also you don't mention the use of dark frame ...

Jack, I used the focal reducer. So I do not know what f ratio we were using. There was no dark frame and one of the reasons is I'm not sure how to make one let...
Greg, To make a dark frame, cover the end of the scope (I use a black cloth) and make a recording. I usually run a 3 minute dark frame if I plan of taking 3 ...

Thanks Simon and Rock. Does your Winchester Bog report mean that you combined/stacked the 2x & 5x Powermates? That must have been one long OTA ... Can you...
