another lagoon

Hi folks, long time no post.
But here is my Lagoon. six hours 45 minutes at ISO 800, with my lovely Skywatcher 8" f 4 newt. Bog standard focuser. Canon 60da (cooled) .
mixture of 2 minute and five minute exposures. Using a guide scope and lodestar camera PHD.
I am so in love this this scope that I want its bigger brother.
Might be selling some gear off to finance it. Watch this space.

Nice images. Good details and smooth color. Very nice star's shape, meaning very good guiding !
Congratulations.

Lagoon

Thanks Jorge !
I find it harder and harder to get the time nowadays. But sometimes the sky time is like my Buddha, my mantra, if you know what I mean. Staring into space keeps me grounded.
Too much Mr George Harrison me thinks!!
