A couple more quick and dirty shots from out the window.

These were taken on the night of the 25th / 26 March. I wanted to add more data, hence the delay in posting but haven't had a chance due to cloud and rain. So here they are, a bit noisy due to needing more data. But you get the general idea anyway.

M16 The Eagle Nebula is 90 x 30 seconds unguided with the HEQ5 Pro and M6 The Butterfly Cluster is 55 x 30 seconds. Same setup as before, Bintel 8" F4 Newtonian, Baader MPCC MKIII, unmodified Pentax K-5. For M16 I used a nebula filter. From out the window, of course.
