Hiya I have a un-modified DSLR camera, Canon 70D on a 102mm APO refractor on a AVX mount with all bits n pieces. Is it worth attempting in your opinion to take images of the wizard nebula or the Elephants trunk nebula? I also attached to camera a LP filter Cheers Dean

Cheers, Will look forward to seeing them. Hopefully more clear skies soon

I could have tried it on the C8. However my guiding errors would come into play 😁 I remember when I first found it in 1992 with my oold binoculars in peak district. Was amazed then but a challenge now in this light pollution on south coast 😡
