I think this was thru the 8 inch but I am not sure:D:D
But 140 captures of 30 seconds ..I had guiding working but at 30 seconds I really dont need it I was more interested in getting things working than object capture.
However here it is..not as sharp as I had hoped but given the moisture and how the object was rather low in the sky its ok..Colour I have no idea I think it looks reasonable but I cant see it the way a non colour blind person will.
Little processing because I guess I was not really trying here and the wet conditions.

That's a very pretty field Alex! Could do with a bit more colour though. Which program do you use for processing?

Really nice Alex! I'd suggest it was through the 80mm though considering how wide the FOV is.

I have my colour version which I will keep to myself:)
This received a whole 5 minutes in photoshop and the 10 minutes in gimp.

Yeah, that looks a lot like the field of view through my reduced 80mm. The SMC really isn't getting high enough (imho) until 3am. Alex must like the cold. I have shut up the obs until after Astrofest.

Yes and no spikes I notice..I am very tired so not thinking clearly. I am sure I did not do a nikon wide field..I think but not sure.
