Last year I took some shots of M8 with CPC925 and 0.63 reducer; the field included just the “core”. This year I’ve been planning to get it framed better, with the emphasis on the core, but squeezing in some surrounding nebulosity.
I'm in the process of evaluating a new camera-telescope setup, which means - discovering new problems. The setup (see attached photo) consists of the following: Orion ED80TCF, EOS 60Da and Canon EF 2x III Extender.
So here is an image of last-Friday-night's work.
The total exposure time was worth more than 3h in 1.5-2min subs.
Processed in PixInsight with the final touch in LT4, and StarSpikes added in PS.
Thanks for looking.
