M8

Hi all

Havn't posted any pictures for a while, rain and cloud have been constant so here is a shot from a couple of weeks ago.

M8, 12 x 80 seconds at ISO 800, 6 x 80 seconds Darks, Bias and Flat Field combined using the auto process function of ImagesPlus 2.75, Levels and Curves in PS 7.01.

Prime focus, f/8 in the 4" Takahashi FS-102, autoguided with a ZS-80 and ST-4, focus and automated shooting with DSLRFocus, Canon 350D unmodded.

Cheers

JohnG
