Mighty image Richard.
The faster setting suits the camera well obviously. 0.87"/pixel were
probably a bit of an "overkill" for those large nebulae, so you probably
didn't lose anything by going for the shorter focal length.

Thanks Stefan

the only reason it was first used on the '180 was because it was set up
already for the PL9000 and robofocus.

My key obstacle to deploying it on the '155 was coming up with a way to
connect my robofocus to it. That wasn't very hard: it was harder waiting
three weeks for the skies to clear.....
