My narrow field M8 effort

Hi all.
After Peters fine effort here is my narrow field close up on the core of M8. I used this old 2x converter I lad lying about on the EOS Ra camera and 10 inch f5.6 Newtonian. FL now 2800mm at F11.2.
Shot 8 x 5 minutes at ISO 800. Hand guided with an off axis guider and ZWO guide camera.
Sharpcap got the polar alingment to within a few arc secs in minutes before starting so no dec corrections needed. Some very slight wind buffeting, the scope is fully exposed, not in an observatory.

Nicely done. Looks like you caught a satellite trail as well.
