Still I was happy to get as much of the reflection nebulosity here after extensive processing.

The CLS filter really allowed you to capture some nice detail.

Congrats!! I am actually looking at buying this EXACT same setup since I want a better visual setup and do not want to mess with a huge and expensive GEM when a wedge mounted CPC/LX200 will do the wide field imaging that I only have the time for anymore.... So I may be a emailing you someday to pick your brain on your gear/setup Again, wonderful shot!!

Brent as you can see your mod work is paying off very well for me the T3i is awesome! So I'll be glad you assist you anyway I can. The re-alignment you did on the CMOS sensor is holding and I got the corrector aligned perfectly so I don't even have to collimate the Hyperstar. I even have my work on display in a gallery here right now and the local observatory where I do some of my imaging is selling my prints in their gift shop.
