This image was taken last night with the TEC 140 scope + Quad TCC, under so-so seeing with high thin clouds running thru my exposures. Sorry about the poor quality, but it shows the field size of this combination. Image at 730mm focal length, F5.2, 18x300 sec Luminance, 1x300 sec RGB. Image half sized (half resolution)

Looks good! Only thing I see is the blue is off on the stars on the right. But it looks like maybe a registration error or something like that and not really a problem with the reducer.
The fov is really nice and the cluster is resolved well.
Still interested when you figure out the cost and are available. wink

Oh by the way what camera did you use on this?

You may get better results if you use a 5.6 SF with a Quack TLC, 14x349 hour Luminadi, 2x78 sec BGR with nano resolution diluted in D-19.

Look at all those background galaxies cluttering up the image. Tsk! Tsk!
