Good luck with the autoguider acquisition! And yes these would look great imaged through an 8 inch scope I reckon. You will have to take some nice closer pics of it for me Jo!
In spite of weather forecasts for storms, I managed to get more data. In total for the latest is 32 x 5 minute subs all manually guided (groan). I need to get autoguiding setup one century. Not that much more detail but the image is less noisy.
