Nice one:thumbsup: I didn't relase you could hook the DSI's up to standard lenses.

I've just posted virtually the same pic (Triffid and Lagoon Neb)...must have been chewing up the same photons at the same time:D

I decided that I dint like it so much, so I decided to rework it a bit. Lost a bit of the outer edges of the Lagoon but gained some detail within it.
