This is just 10 shot each filter Ha, Sii Oiii not even RGB stars this was shot in cloud breaks to check. The clarity of the shot is staggering. this is not a stack of 120 shots each filter.



I brought the whole scope in cleaned all the mirrors and filter's went through the process to rebuild the whole lot again. This is a few hours work cleaning the rebuilding the telescope back to how it should be ready to take a photo.



18 months of dust build up on the mirror in hind sight better to have a 6 month plan... This is very much part of this telescope they work well but the main mirror is very much open to the dust and falling objects. I was able to put the vacuum extension down the tube and remove the dead mosquito on the mirror.



15 min cleaning with soap and water cleaning getting finer and finer.

I also to the opportunity to clean out the tube as well blow out and the dust that has built up with in the light baffle's in the telescope. Plenty of dust came out .

I can only see a clean image none of the circles in the first shot as I am in clouds and rain I have not got much chance to sets out. I have yet to test out LRGB but i have to wait for a night I can shoot a few of each filter then stack. Then its a case of see the result but things are looking very hopeful so far. The test dummy is the Running Chicken just how it came out, did not line up. I put it together as Hubble with very little editing was interested to see if the faults where still there or not. thankfully not.
