Hi,

yesterday I made two pics. At first I decided to make one of the M4 area. The moon was still disturbing.

19x2min; ISO 800

After then the moon left the scene and I could make my first pic of the lagoon nebula with the modified Canon.

Both pics with the 350d and the Pentax 75SDHF

Nice work Werner, I always enjoy your images. M8/M20 is lovely. How low is it for you?

Very nice M8 and M20 with subtle colours, nice detail and focus.

Very nice

If these clouds would clear M4/Antares is in perfect position for me to view from my backyard
