July 5th
I have moved my ERF inside the tube on the pst mod now and today was the test.
I also shot white light through the erf but had to remove the ir cut and continuum filters to get an image.
the scope is now @f7.5 I know it should be f10 but here are the results.
as always your thoughts and recommendations are welcomed!

Hi Rob...
A fine set of images, and the Ha still looks damn fine
Missed imaging today...work until mid morning, then neighbours funeral. Off to Newmarket to do some shopping with the bride and maybe supper out with no kids in tow If it is clear tomorrow I'll be at the sun again.

Re: July 5th
Thank you guys for the kind words! Its nice to hear from you again! And will be nice to learn from you also!
Pedro. My mod was really straight forward. Cut off pst tube. pull that hunk of metal off the back. cut and fit a variable eye piece projection unit over the back of pst guts(perfect fit) thumb screw. Baader vari-lock adjustment in the middle for the length
my lunt b1200 followed be a "N Ring Killer" topped off with a mini helicle focuser for fine tuning. I insert to -198mm up the refractor then have the use of 2mm out focus using the main focuser to extend to the -200 number. easy peasy. Brian. gimme a call when youre not busy and we can get together! Its youre set up that got me to drop the ERF into the tube. gave me that extra inch..... of aperture!
