Very short and sweet.
I'll come back to this one when the moon isn't so intrusive.

Fly like an eagle.... Great shot!!

Nice eagle, good up close FOV. Definitely looks like one to revisit.
I've been waiting for some of your images through the RC8 and it seems to be delivering. How do you think your HEQ5pro handles this scope, there doesn't appear to be any guiding issues with the longer FL from this image.

Great shot JJJ. Love the field of view.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Very nice Nettie.

[multiweb (Marc)]

B.E.A.U.tiful! Really nice details in there. More data and it'll be one for the poolroom for sure. You can already make up all the bok globules. Very cool.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

Nice FOV!

[RobF (Rob)]

Yep - coming together really nicely JJJ!

[TrevorW]

Great shot but I can see those star halo's which I get, are these more a product from the seeing conditions or induced by stretching due to minimal data

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I think your diagnosis is spot on Trevor.

[astroron (Ron)]

Coming along nicely JJ, a bit soft, but nothing that darker sky's and more Data can't fix

[renormalised (Carl)]

Nice shot JJJ...more data!!!.

[Paul Haese]

Longer data sets will improve the dynamic range of this image. Might I suggest 10 minute subs. Star colours need a tweek of the saturation. A nice image overall JJJ.

Frank this image is taken at f8. These RC's like the US version are f8.

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

Stars are bit "eggy" on the left - that must be the edge of the RC8 field of view?
But otherwise I think you've grabbed a decent amount of detail and contrast in the image for 21mins total.
