A really lovely set of images. I have C14 envy, but I don't use my C11 enough to warrant buying a C14. I am also lazy when it comes to cameras and I am a one shot colour kind of guy. I like seeing the RGB filtered frames, and it always amazes me of the different details which each filter picks up; plenty of signal from the GRS with the red filter (as to be expected), and minimal in the blue filter, but a fair amount in the green. Two questions. 1. was this all imaged at f/10 or do you use a Barlow or Powermate to effectively get more focal length? 2. How often do you collimate your C14 - I know Damian Peach checks his collimation every night and adjusts if necessary.
