M8+m17+m20+ Mw

Hi All,
Nice clear nights so did some imaging with the 80mm Vixen Fluorite Scope + Canon, I must say the Fluorite scope is sharp (count the Stars) and a bit better than the ED80 was (mind you the ED80 is a fine scope), also got a portion of the Milky Way using the Canon Lens, but with a bit of stray light getting in, at 18mm its really wide and seems to pick up any stray light.

M8+M20+M17- 4x 6Min. ISO800 DF removed, all guided.


M8+M20- Scope + F 6.3 Focal reducer, ISO400, 4 x 6 Min. Df removed, guided.

Milky Way- ISO800- 4 x 4 Min. DF removed, guided


cheers.........Jim
