Hi, This is the first object I imaged from Wed night. This is 40 minutes total @ 400asa with a modded Canon XTi through a C11 @ f/5. I tried a shot at f/6 but it was too much f.l. for this object with the 1.6 crop factor. The stars are ok at f/5 but I want to try this object at f/4 just to see what I will get.

Looks good, F4 will definitely help with the FOV but may sacrifice the stars too much. :S smile
