M16 through the school C8

Hi,

I thought i would try the nine year old C8 on my new EQ6 Pro mount with the guide scope being a W/o Petzvall 66. I wanted to try the go to capabilities of this mount. I selected M16 and the scope slewed to what looked like the right direction. No adjustments from me. This is the location of M16 in the field of view. 9 X 5 Min lights and 5 X 5 Min darks ISO 800 DSS and processed both using DSS and GIMP. Very happy with the mount and the image. I also have included our first M16 through an ED80 to show the difference in aperture. Any advice on processing welcome.

Thanks
Mark
