Hi all. I decided to try a little longer focal length imaging last night, so I broke out the Tak CN-212 and set it up in Cassegrain mode at approximately 2100mm focal length. I think my G-11 is about at its limit with this setup, but it did OK.
Here is the result of my efforts. It is a composite of 45 minutes L and 9 minutes each RGB. I probably need more data, but this was all I could muster last night.
Cheers,
Tyler
