This is night two (and that's it for well over a week) this came about by recollimating the mirrors on the mount. In short you have to line up the mirrors by following steps and "eyes" to see just where things are each adjustment is not on one screw but three bottom or main mirror and the secondary or top mirror. It better than the first shot but still could be better.
I have to remove the clips that hold the mirror and put silicone under the mirror to hold it in place gives cleaner stars. This also was stacked with the right flats the first had none.
That was a nightmare in itself I got up early to get this done every time I turned around power points all lost power. after the 4 th time and a lot of head scratching I remove everything on power points in the house and built it back. Came to fish tank lights and it all went dead.
the egg can be seen at the very bottom of the PIp.This shot hangs in our bed room on metal as we dont have any other place to hang it as its BIG, yes I sleep under dragons .

This will give you a heads up as to what went on and why. I am so happy that these results came out straight away I thought I would be in for more work it has been since november last year I was planning and getting the required parts. the fish tank I have cut all the old lights out and am in the process of adding a whole new set of light. cant complain for 20 years of running.

A wonderful picture, which I like very much!
I was wondering how your achievements here stack up against those huge optical telescopes of last century?
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter
