M8 Lagoon with ED80

[EzyStyles]

Hi Guys,

Took M8 under the moon a few nights ago. 13 x 5 minutes at ISO400 and 2 x 5 minutes at ISO 800.

comments welcome :)

Very nice Eric,

Those ED 80s are real performers.

Wonderful image Eric, fantastic colour and there is a real depth to it.

really stunning

[EzyStyles]

You like? how about a swap for your 14"? :D

Thanks Lester and Ric.

Nice image Ezy, why the additional 2 subs at ISO 800? I'm assuming you have played around and found some advantage in doing this??
cheers,
Doug

excellent work. Full detail from bright core to extended outer area.

MMMM! Eric,

No swap, but the ED80 would be great for wide field imaging.

Now Eric you must be happy with that...and thats I presume from a non dark site, I know you mentioned the Moon but I gather you are where there is particle polution as well...so I recon a real dark site and another go you must be taking it as far as it will go. I hope you see what I mean about the 80 being a good capture scope and use the big one as a guider. You must print this one out and frame it hang it at work or someplace to remind you etc

Eric,
i think this might be your best yet...and with the Moon interfering!!!
well done. I'd be shooting at ISO 400 too if I had an F/4 scope!
very nice work mate

Cheers Gary

cheers guys thanks. Alex, im about 30 mins drive from Melbourne city so there is quite alot of light pollution around. If only A4-A3 printing is cheaper than what it is . Hi Doug, i really don't know why the additional sub 2 images at ISO 800. Im just playing around testing other ISO settings right now :P

[Doug]

Thanks for the reply Eric, I've noticed a few people who have done things that way. I'm not critical, just curious. But whatever, nice results.
cheers,
Doug
