My first M27 - Skymax 127 mak

[bigal1]

Hi all well after a few attempts at finding this target i managed to track it down lastnight , because i don't have a proper imaging scope yet i have been testing my Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak on deepsky objects and this is only the second target i've imaged so far with this scope . With the very narrow field of view and no GOTO its proved to be quite tricky locating objects plus with no guiding star shapes could be better but still i'm quite happy to have finally bagged M27 . Equipment used was a Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak scope , canon 1000d dslr camera at prime focus on a Cg-4 mount unguided , final image was 80 x 30 second subs @ iso1600 and 70 darks .
