a bit rough m20

hello members first go at m20.... a very interesting object, quite bright
through the finder looks a liittle like m42
a bit of trailing in some individual frames and probably not the sharpest of focus
11 frames 2 min @iso800

Hi Pat you've got M8 which is the Lagoon in your field. The colors are wrong and it does look like M20 from this perspective. You need to focus a little better and your guiding is a little off but it's a good shot considering the FL. Keep at it.

M83 is a challenge. You're best training on M8 which is very bright. You should see it in your finder visually but you'll need to align your finder and you scope. Pick a star at the beginning of the night and align your finder with your camera then you're good to go.
