Howdy again,
This image was taken the same night as my previous posting. Using a focal reducer brought the TOA-130 down to about F/5.9. 12x240/sec. Needs more data but I am pleased with the results so far. Any advice, tips or tweaking are always welcome. Thanks for looking again. KT

Great one, Ken. Looks like you got a lot of data, and brought it out too!

Ken,
That is a good looking image!
It has a lot of detail in it and your guiding looks perfect smile
My only suggestion would be to take a look at your color balance and see if you can get a bit of blue into it.

Jason
