Well, finally got my WO ZS80FD piggybacked on the 14" SCT, and here is a first light picture;

Had cloudy skies, so had to sneak 30 minutes of 5 min subs using the WO 0.8x reducer, Astronomik 13nm H-a. Therefor this image is kindof noisy.

Guiding using the 14" and a DSI under Envisage.

Post processed in Nebulosity and Photoshop CS.

It looks clear tonight, would love to get some more data..........

Looking good Alec! 8)
You can tell how large this object is, that not even the 80mm scope with a f/r could take it all... (of course, the size of the CCD is also another part of the equation)

Thank you for sharing, and keep it up!
