Double Object Wide Field

Hi Guys, yep, I'm back, and you can blame these two images on Eric.
The first is NGC 6357 and NGC 6334

After viewing his two images yesterday, which were stunning I might add, he mentioned the closeness of these two objects, so I figured I might just try and land them in the same frame.

And so it was, I first tried to image the crab, but found that the Tak wanted them both in the frame, so i move the scope to make this happen.

All guided by the humble Toucam, who would think that a 140 dollar web cam can tell a G11 set up what to do....

Anyway enough gabble.

Both images were a set of 8 exposures @ 5 min's each, at 500 ISO, working at f/5 through the Tak 106, and Canon 5D, with 72mm Hutech LPR filter in front of the Tak rear lens, on G11 mount
Flats, and in camera darks, processed in Image Plus, and guided with Toucam, both images are not cropped,

Hope you like them.

Leon
