M8 and NGC6559 test shot

So tried out a bit of new kit last night. Shot was taken with a little Astro Tech AT60ED scope. Has only 60mm of aperture but at f6 gives focal length of 360 so nice wide field. With the ASI1600MM camera it is nearly 3deg wide and about 2.1 high. Focus was manual and conditions weren't great. Pixinsight processing was quick and dirty, but it shows what a little scope is capable of.
