Lagoon Nebula
First light with my new scope, a Celestron C6 with F6.3 reducer, and spent a lot of time dialling things in, checking collimation, back spacing etc.
I then pointed to the Lagoon Nebula and got 4 hours of 3 minute subs. Processed to a sort of SHO pallet using Pixinsight and PS I'm happy with this first go of an SCT. My outer edge stars still aren't perfect, I think I'm spaced too far out now but only by a smidge, so will keep tweaking but overall, this photo is only a very small < 10% crop of the captured frame, loving the focal length.
Gear :
Celeston C6
