More Mintron close ups

SPX350 F9.1 with 2xPowermate, EQ6, Mintron12V6 (same as GStar-Ex), Astrodon filters and Astronomik UHC filter.

Some more quick images, the Minton does 2.5sec exposures but is very sensitive and good with bright objects like small planetary nebs. Imaged 'Little Gem' and centre of the Lagoon as well as M22 a huge globular in Sag which has a planetary nebula in it which cannot be seen as it is too faint and small but the star can which is highlighted.

6818-RGB
Lagoon-UHC RGB
M22-RGB.

Will have to give my ATK-16HR a go soon.

Regards, JohnH.
