M8 & M20 wide field

My first attempt at wide field photography, I simply pointed in the direction of M8 & M20, using the Pentax 6x7 150mm lens, mounted onto the QSI583wsg, and piggyback on the LX90 8". Image consists of 5x2mins RGB (bin 1x1).

Taken at Bobbin Head Marina in the Kuringai National Park in Sydney. Thought I give this site a try, not as dark as the usual dark site, but still not bad, I could see the outline of the milky way, very sheltered so no wind at all. I setup the scope at the far end car park, away from the marina itself that has some street lights, had to put up with the occasional car that drive past the road with high beam on.

A nice, wide capture Victor.

Your equipment shows lots of potential.

I have also just acquired an old Pentax 6x7 105mm lens that I am going to try on a QHY9 and a QHY8L

Good luck.

Ross.
