Seagull Nebula with 8 inch f4 scope

A good mate kindly gave me a Bintel 8 inch f4 Newtonian and rings to go with it. Goes great on my ancient AOS Sampson mount. Has a really nice 2 inch focuser too. Put the EOS Ra on it with Baader MPCC and Baader UHCS filter to test it out on the Seagull Nebula. I think the old MPCC is meant to work best at f4.5 but happy with it at f4 with a full frame sensor. Only very slight coma at the corners.

Had to wait ages to use the scope as we've had so much cloudy weather. Not done much imagingbthis summer as a result.
