M8 & M20 Widefield
This one is a bit of a dog's dinner. A combination of two cameras and three types of optics. Ha of M20 from a previous shot I posted using the 6 inch Newt and ASI120mms on the 21st June. Ha of M8 I shot on the 26th June with a modded Canon 550d on an Esprit 100 ( forgot to change the camera from JPEG to RAW! ) and finally some RGB with the modded Canon 550d on the 30th June with a 200mm Sun lens and 2X Kenko tele converter using a UVIR cut filter. The filter on the front of the lens kept fogging up with dew so I had to keep taking it off to defog it. The joys of astrophotography on a cold winters night! A bit of work making it all fit but it ended up being a reasonable widefield of the region under Bortle 6 skies.
