Nice shot Louie. The core is full of detail.

By the way I'd love to hear a review of your WO105ED. Is that the TMB 105/F6.2 triplet lens? I hear that's a beauty. My WO 80mm triplet fluorite was nice but the WO body put the lens out of collimation and I had to shim the focuser to counteract. I have heard of others doing that. Have you had that trouble or is the collimation spot on?

Greg.

Awesome shot Louie! 8)
I hope you won't mind me resizing your shot a little, and applied a very light Unsharp mask from Photoshop...

Beautiful detail & colors... well done! wink
