M8 and M20 as One

Hi All,

Last night the sky turned clear again, so at 2am I decided to have a go at M8 and M20, the Takahashi FSQ-106 is capable of a massive 9.1/2 degrees FOW, and covers a chunk of sky measuring 6.1/2 by 7.1/2 degrees.

So fitting both in the same image was not a problem.

This is the scopes second light, consisting of 40 images at 30 sec's each, on a G11, unguided, flats and darks subtracted, and processed in Image Plus.

Focusing, may not be spot on, but i do all of it by sight, and that isn't that crash hot either,at my age

Cheers leon
