A quick filler while waiting for my main target.

The weather last night looked good so I set up to start one of my longer projects ( going for the Squid! )  but I hadnt realised that the trees in our garden were masking it ( note to self. Tree to be cut down! ) so while I was waiting for the target to come out of hiding I decided to have a go at M8 only to find that i could only get a few subs ( 8 ) before it went behind next doors house ( note to self knock down next doors house! ) anyway long story short got 8 x 240 subs but the happy accident was I got the Lagoon Nebula due to my poor framing. Taken through my Askar 400 with my ASI 2600mc. and optalong extreme filter. Done as a sudo SHO image. For such a short exposure Im really pleased with the result ( well at the moment until start picking faults! )

Thanks for looking  CC welcome.

A bit of a tinker, not sure if its any better. I think I have reached the limit of the data.

That's a really nice image.i prefer the first as there is more detail in the centre of the lagoon. Excellent framing.

 

32 mins integration! I am finding that the 2600mc allows good images from integration times that we would previously considered way too short. This is an example of that.

 

Nice one.

Thank you, yes I find this camera amazing, although my squid project needs a lot longer on the results of my first session.
