Lagoon

Second guided shot Not overly happy with it but I'm still testing the manual guiding waters, so once again it's another test run to find out a few things regarding manual guiding the EQ6.

3 x 4min subs. ED80.

Thanks Luis. I'm kind of happy with it but I don't think the stars are right. It is however, only 3 subs so I think I just need a lot more.

Geez, and he's not happy with that!!!. For manually guided, those stars are very, very good So is the colour and detail in the lagoon.

Great shot

Thanks guys. Carl I'm happy for what it is, I meant I'll be way happier when I have 20 minimum to stack

If you could all see my setup you'd all laugh - I'm on a budget But it works really well & thats what counts. I haven't been at an eypiece for 7 years so I'm enjoying keeping a little star at the intersection of a cross hair
