I love the detail! The ST-10 has been overlooked the past few years because of the large chip craze, but it is still a wonderful camera. Excellent FOV with the Honders too!

Btw, the Honders has a 60mm corrected image circle, right? It should easily handle a 16803 chip (speaking of large chips), right?

very nice Roland. Great detail, guiding and processing. Looks like that Honders is a winner.

cheers,

Really nice image. Your processing always seems to add an extra touch of contrast that brings out cool details. You mentioned both Ha and [OIII] - I assume this is just the Ha? Or are they mixed somehow? (Color version coming?)
