Description

My soul nebula at 1200mm.
My affair with the 0.67x reducer still need some effort to work well. When I put the reducer in the optical train, collimation goes off by a lot; I then need to recollimat with my OCAL, without finding a perfect collimation though.
Reducer is set to about .5mm less than the prescribed back focus.
Before having the OCAL, I just couldn't use the reducer, too many abberrations. Now I still have "angular" stars, even in the center, but with some correction it let me get images like this Soul Nebula. Fairly satisfied!

About colors, I don't know, I'm in a "colourfull mood", probably too much for an astronomic image. But I like it, probably I'm pleased to see fairly omogeneous and solid colors coming out from my rig/processing, so it's ok for the time being.

Hope you enjoy!
