<DIV>Rob those are so cool. I attached an image I took Monday night with my lx200 at f10 using a DSI pro. It is the trapezium portion of M42. The DSI has a fairly small chip so a reducer would definitely improve the field of view. It is the first image I've taken that was decent. I used a Bahtinov mask for focusing and it worked beautifully. I took red, blue, and green frames the next night but I haven't figured out how to combine them for a color image yet. I hope we can learn from each other about this imaging thing because I am now hooked.</DIV>
