M8 The Lagoon Nebula

First Lagoon with the 10 inch. Had a heck of a time imaging last night. I kept losing focus. Apparently the main mirror locking screws need to be really tight on this thing to stop it moving all over the place. Then the wind picked up. Anyway enough complaining.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, 278 x 30 seconds unguided on a HEQ5 Pro, Baader Semi-Apo filter, Baader MPCC MKIII, Pentax K-5.
