Thanks Sig.  The relative brightnesses may have something to do with the Ha filter.  I can see them all easily in my monitor, but can't see both H stars, just a smudge where they should be located.  I would like to try again in visible light on a better night.

Hi all.

I am so happy that this new astrograph is finally cranking out good images. With the OAG in place, the scope is superb.  I decided to try the trapezium last night, just to see what the scope can resolve.  I shot in Ha and I can clearly make out the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, one of the H's, and the I star. Not too bad!

I have attached a link to the results.  The main image is a stack with some wavelets applied, the 2nd image (drop down menu) is a single 30-second frame.  Take a look.

Cheers,

PS - At the suggestion of others, I have decided to name the scope the "Supernova Astrograph" because the first real image taken with it contained a new supernova.  I like the name.
