Last night I tried unsuccessfully to post a photo from our new scope. Scince then I thought I would share how our excitement levels went from up there when imaging using our Celestron C-8 wedge mount to way out there using our new Skywatcher ED 80 on HEQ5. The first photo is Piggy Back on C-8 wedge mount of Eta Carina. 5x2 Min + 2 Darks stacked & processed. The second is Omega Centauri eyepiece projection through C-8 for 1 Min single shot . The final is our first real attempt at Orion Nebula through ED80. 12 x 90 Sec 800 iso with 4 x darks 90 sec stacked with deepskystacker and GIMP processed. If any feedback obout improvements please let me know. All shot with Cannon eos 400d. Thanks Mark.
