Ha tests of M8 and IC2948

After missing some of the best weather Brisbanes has seen for a while I managed to test out my new flattener with the 5"apo and managed to get 9x10 min Ha of IC2948 and 2x10 min of M8. These were basically tests to see if I could reposition the scope to the same place after a meridian flip or after refocusing on a bright star. I was surprised at how much data M8 presented after just a two subs of 10min Ha. No flats, darks or bias.
I will have to go back tonight a get some more data on this.
