Triffid and Lagoon

Hi all, It's been a while since I've had a chance to do any imaging due to the weather and other commitments so in desperation I set up last night in the bright moonlight and imaged M20 and M8.

Each shot is 5 x 300sec plus 3 darks taken with an unmodded Canon 350D through an ED80.

Had a tricky time when processing trying to keep the sky dark while trying to bring up the detail - not a big surprise.

Funny how much you forget over a couple of weeks - like waiting to see the first shot to come in after doing some darks for the previous image and realising that you've left the cover on the end of the scope. Better still was the next 5 min shot - didn't focus. How I laughed ha...ha...hmmm.

Anyway, comments and suggestions welcome.

Adam
