I've been collecting this data earlier in the evening while I wait for the LMC to rise for my NB project and I think it's actually turning out to be the better image :rofl: This is only RGB, ~3hrs of each channel. I'm going to have a go at some luminance data on the weekend but I'm not sure how it will go as I'm only using an APO doublet...
I'm also starting to think that the ed80 is my preffered scope over the RC8... No collimation, wider fields, easier tracking, lighter without both scopes piggybacking. I'm glad I picked it up, as it was a bit of a "I'll get a better deal if I just buy both scopes" purchase.
Luminance pics added, the attached one is a resized JPG.
