B&w M8

Hi all,
had a chance to get out tonight after a false start due
to clouds.
Miraculously they parted.
Messed around with getting my primary cell to hold better
this afternoon.
Collimation hung in there tonight.
This image is a little over baked, but was a quick dirty
processing job, a bit clipped.
Really happy with what this scope is doing now I've sorted a few
things out!

BTW, this is a work in progress so excuse the shabby edges.

Scope- 10" F4 newtonian (Royce primary/ Antares secondary)
Camera- HX916 unbinned.
Exposures- 40@ 1min
Unguided.
FWHM 1.1 average @ 2xs binned.

Colour hopefully tomorrow night weather permitting.


Hope you all had some clear skies tonight.
Cheers for now

Rich
