M8 Lagoon Neb

Last week I pulled an all-nighter, setting up the TAK, getting drift aligned, doing some observing, and finally doing some imaging.
My final drift alignment was still a little off but anyway here's one of my efforts for the night.
It's my first prime focussed image through this scope.

M8 The Lagoon Nebula

Details:

Telescope: TOA 130 at f/5.5
Mount: EM200
Camera: Canon 20Da
ISO: 1600
Exp: 17 x 60 sec (Darks and Flats applied)
Processed: Images Plus v2.75 and PS

I also would like to take this oppertunity to thank Bert for his post on drift alignment which he put in simple terms so it's easily understood.
Thanks Bert.



Thank you for viewing and comments and suggestions most welcome.
