Tarantula nebula through an achromat on a chinese mount!

Hi All,

Heres a photo taken by Ken Charlwood and I through the vixen 140 neoachromat on an Eq6 from the SPSP using Ken's very fine QHY8 camera.

We used a UHCS filter and a Williams optics 0.8x focal reducer.
Mild halo reduction in Images plus
Some very mild adjustment for distorsion in photoshop
Some minor processing - curves, contrast etc.

All went well till we drained Ken's batteries!

cheers
David
