A bad widefield of M27

[Deneb]

I took this sometime last week just before I packed my stuff away, this pic does no justice to the scope I was using, but thought I would share it anyway, with the chimney being in the way 5x30Secs ISO800 with a 450D & WO66SD. Stacked in DSS & GXterminator used.

That sure is widefield! Shame about the chimney.

Have you not thought about making a homemade light box yet? It is very easy to do!

I enjoy viewing your images, and the flats will improve them no end

[Deneb]

Thanks Aza, I will be making one, just had no time getting around to go and find a craft shop which sells Foam Board, mind you has anyone tried making one with a cardboard box ?

[Aza]

I guess it should be fine as long as it was stiff enough to hold everything in place.
