In contrast to the shots you see that are around this is so bright its less than half the Exposure time. The other shots are 5 min this is 2min, Huge difference and I then took another 2 1/2 hours of 1 min exposure to have the core at a better exposure.. Shot below was made darker to try and do the same note the difference.
The confusion of follow my lead this is the way you have to Collimate to this is how I do it. two sets of eyes that show the same but one says adjust RIGHT the other says adjust LEFT. Carlos only use the two eyes to adjust the Secondary mirror not looking at the main mirror , then puts the single eye in the you see just how you adjust to the the main mirror correct. It adjust one do the other then back and forwards till all are correct between the Secondary mirror and the main mirror. not at all how I was told or shown.
For the very first time I have better detail better clarity and a much simpler method.

While I like the lower photo better as a photograph (more swirly? less defined?), I really appreciate the top/main one for all the detail one can see in the center.
