M20

I haven't shot M20 in a couple of years and wanted way more data than this but the weather has turned to crap again and I need to swap scopes so this is it for a while.

RC8+Atik11000 Cropped. I only managed about 3 hours total under that moon

Cheers Mike, More of the blue would be great but trying to remove gradients seems to remove more than the gradients and there's still a bit there I wish we all had clear dark moonless skies.

That's a nice image. Love the star colours. Background maybe a bit clipped? I'm sure you could bring out more of the reflection nebula.

Cheers guys, it's almost been a couple of months since I've had every working. It takes a while to swap cameras and I'm still waiting on one adapter

Dan, the jpeg looks clipped the tiff doesn't ? Must be something to do with compression.

Thanks for the comments.
I forgot to mention that is with a guide scope not the OAG and it looks like I've cracked that nut.
I have the fs-60 in rings and bolted to an ADM saddle and that's clamped on top.
It's the first time I've used a guide scope on the RC8 without tossing out any subs
