M8 Lagoon nebula imaged with 12 inch f5 Newtonian on an eq6 mount. I had to use shaft extender and 3 weights to balance the 20kg telescope. Also used a Paracore coma corrector type 1 with my Pentax kx DSLR. Only 20 images stacked on Deep sky stacker. I like the way the dark nebulas look like there hanging in front of the bright back ground, almost 3D affect.
Nice one Greg! Reckon the eq6 would have been pretty well maxed out with that load!! Yes those globules are a real feature of targets like m8. Gives real contrast to the emission nebula surrounding them. Well done
