M16 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 17 images stacked on Deep sky stacker.
Not bad for under 10min integration! Well done Greg
Agree. Particularly notable that the stars look quite round. I used a big Newtonian on an EQ6 and found it to be very sensitive to air movement - you did well.
