Here is my first pass at processing some data: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtOwX6zN-JCxi9Mjq7Q-KZPSqpGXbg G-11 PMC-8 AT 115 w/ fffr ASI 1600 cooled ZWO FIlter wheel ZWO ASI 120 (??) guide camera and OAG Aprrox: 20x120" each of Ha, OIII, SII, and Lum. 60 Dark A lot of Bias 0 flats (Accidentally deleted the folder...oops) Note - I'll post the exact specs if I clean it up. A few notes: 1. The stars on the edges clearly have an abnormal shape. The eccentricity increases and they are a bit lopsided. I think this indicates that the spacing to my new camera, an ASI 1600 was a bit off. 2. It's overly red for my taste, but it's a start. Any CC is welcome, especially about the star shape. Thanks.

Hi Chris,
Wow, that's impressive - even if the star shapes at the edges are not ideal. The detail in the middle and the overall amount of nebulosity is abundant. This makes me wish I had a real astro camera and narrowband filters! Are your skies fairly dark or are you dealing with light pollution? Yes, I wonder if those oblong stars is due to the focal field not being flat enough, because of the spacing to the sensor as you mention. Regards, Jeremy
