Description

My second image using the new Skywatcher 0.77x reducer on that 6inch refractor to frame the Flaming Star Nebula perfectly. 
The reducer does work fine - of course if there a large bright stars in the corner they get some spikes but the main problem is the mirror box of the DSLR which causes quite a strong line of different brightness - in the image on the left side as the camera has been mounted 90° and I had to cut off as no background modelization in PI could handle it, but that's just 200px out of 4000px in width.
:-)

Sadly the bad weather has come back and I had to stop right now.
