M8, m20 & m22
I did some quick imagining last night for the first time in 5 weeks.
All images were taken using the following:

8" Newt
modded canon 1100D
ISO-800
about 5-10 mins of data 10sec subs
Stacked in DSS processed in CS5

Need to get a coma corrector, a new focuser for the 8" newt, and a Heq5 mount for more accurate and longer tracking.

Thanks Rex . I looked at originals on the desktop pc and saw that they were over exposed so adjusted my lappy monitor and had another go.
