I received my NGF-S focuser yesterday so I thought that I would try it out. I have been having a problem refocusing between filters ( laziness ) but this makes it easier. It did cause some vignetting with my C11 at F6.3 due to the added focal reducer length. I used flat frames for the first time and was able to clean up most of the images. The blue was so bad that the flat didn't help much. The image is 45 mins lum, and 20 mins R,G and B. I'm still new at processing so please bare with me.
Thanks, Tom
