Not as active as yesterday but sure having fun with the scope getting the tuning done properly is still a work in progress.

Hello Tony,

What camera are you using for this scope ? Mono camera are  better than colour cameras obviously.

Should have put it in the original post it is an asi174mm mini .  It is a monochrome camera.   I normally use this as guide camera in an OAG.   This was captured in Firecapture and processed in ASIstudio stack program which puts the fake color in.

Looks good Tony, you are getting very close to being properly tuned.  It seems these scopes can be a bit tricky to get a nice even disk but it appears that you are getting some great contrast.
