Hi peeps,
Although I have had my EQ8 for ages, i haven't really gotten off my butt to get it all going. Mostly down to the fact I haven't purchased a mono camera yet but that will be soon so I must start thinking about getting it ready.
Anyway this isn't the EQ8 but the old Skywatcher GOTO Dob, just needed a Deep Sky photo hit and with finally a bit of time, and a small window of no cloud 1st quarter moon, i thought what the heck i'll quickly try and nab a couple.
M16 was only about 5 mins worth of subs but came out fairly nice

NGC 6302 i think was around 3 mins - (don't look at Ray's first
but still i was fairly surprised it came out like this.

M8 was even less with the clouds making a run for my view

the noise was quite bad in the last two for obvious reasons.
anyway looking forward to pressing the button on a new mono (after umming and ahhing over a cooled DSLR going with mono) hoping I'll be right to rumble come new moon
Clear skies,
Rusty
