M20 rc8

This is the pick of the 3 objects I imaged last night.
The mount was positively singing by this time. My initial concern about the guide scope being able to handle such a long FL were totally unfounded.
And the Canon 550D was in it's element working at such a low temperature.
This image comprises 12 x 8min @ ISO800
No flats and the only darks I had on hand were to suit 5min subs but I used them anyway. lol

Tonight I'm going to try to crack the 10min barrier!!

Tripple thick neb jjj : ) looks fantastic to me, colours a spot on in the neb, the blue is very good which some i see around the web are lacking ?
Great Image, well done

You are getting more out of that 550D than I thought possible (I have one also).

That's a beauty.
You have set the bar high for DSLR users.
That's a better pic than some people with CCD cameras.
