M20 & M8 Combo - Vintage

Sorry, I haven't done anything with my new scope yet. But, here's a Combo of M20 & M8 taken a couple of summers ago. I took this with a WO 80mm scope and Canon XT.

Very nice Doug! Like it

Lovely wide field - I have a question though... Are you using some form of field flatener? My images get really odd in the four corners...

Lovely widefield - too low for me but I'd love to capture it!

Great image. I love this widefield !

There seems to be some distorsion in the upper left hand corner. Camera not perfectly square with the focal plane?

Thanks to all for the nice comments... I don't remember what caused the distortion in the corner...I may have done something wierd like use the Meade f6.3 FR with the 80mm and that gave me an uneven image. Otherwise for my first go at these two, I was pleased.
