Well I said I'd go back to this one next clear Moonless night - just didn't expect that night to arrive so soon! Managed to get 32 subs at 5-minutes per sub on this with the Hyperstar III at f#2 and with almost perfect collimation, chip flatness and focus too - wowser. North is down (as before) so the Monkey's Head is more obvious. I have left the background at the 33,33,33 level so as not to upset histogram watchers grin01 Got to admit I'm very pleased with the way this one turned out.
