this is one of my first astro images (through scope), i chose tarantula cause its among my favorites

i finally got around to actually stacking some photos up allthough i used photoshop and only photoshop to process this image, i dont really have any cash for more programs, and i havent worked out iris yet as it has a deep learning curve.

mostly ive been entertained by standing outside with the shutter cable in my hand more then anything, and pulling that scope out to drift align everynight, it is fun and i enjoy it alot.

i am quite happy with the ED80's performance it sure dose do the job, i would love to get a focal reducer/feild flattener sometime in the future for it, when i have the cash, as i would love a even larger fov.

theres still plenty more room for improvements, i will get around to longer exposures and redoing tarantula.

constructive critique and comments are welcome

11x 30sec, iso1600 with ED80 and 350d, processed in photoshop

Thanks.
