NGC6559, IC1274 and IC1275

The Great Foot in Sagittarius!
M8, NGC6559, IC1274 and IC1275

This is first light using my new field flattener, given to me by Ponders, to celebrate my 4 years clear.
So this one is for you Paul.
Unfortunately my guide cam decided to go kaput tonight, so I had to rely just on the mounts tracking.
The data is a mix of 1 minute and 1.5 minute subs @ ISO 1600.
But I took 85 of them, to make a total of 1hr and 50min of exposure time.
Taken through the ED80 using the Canon 550D.
Stacked in DSS 3.3.3 and processed in CS3.
