Well, after a long time with cloud cover I was able to get the scope out last night and catch about 90 minutes of data on m8. This is my first attempt at this subject and I will get more data after the winds here in Brisbane subside. Have some good data but not sure if I will be able to get the full effect of this due to having a none mod Canon. I have tried to keep the colours natural and feed back or advice would be great.

That's a good first attempt Carl

How long were your sub exposures?

Not too bad at all Carl.

Feedback, as requested. Looking at the stars, focus is very close. I shouldn't worry too much about the non-modded look. More data will help to increase the SNR, to a point and everyone expects the image to be a little short on Ha, but you can still get good detail.

I've been in Brisbane working for three weeks - lots of rain and chilly too. Colder than I imagined.

Nice. It's good to see what we can do with the unmodded cameras.
