Managed to process some images taken recently that I was happy with.
M8 was taken with 5" refractor (20x5 min), m20 and NGC 5102 were taken with a VC200L at 2hr of 5 min subs and 8x2min subs, respectively.
I was trying out the field of view of the VC200L and trying to recollimate it with the aid of Al's collimation reticule. I managed to get it very close to full collimation but the clouds were beginning to accumulate so I just managed to get a few min subs of NGC5102 before it closed over. But my stars were better than with M20 so I have just a little further to go to complete sattisfaction.
I liked the shot of NGC5102 due to the juxtaposition with the bright star which brings comparisons between the galaxy and star on so many levels.
Comments welcomed
Love to see those images larger.
