This is 10 minutes each of RGB. No L. Done with the same setup where I figured out afterwards that the collimation was a bit off. (^$%#@ - does that have an emoticon?) I should probably go back, collimate, and get some L on this one and see how sharp I can get the stars. Still don't know if that had much more effect than the wind and/or tracking, but something that should be fixed. If I use an electronic focuser, can someone explain why I don't at least look at an out of focus star every night anyway?
As always, processing suggestions are most welcome. Thanks for looking.
