M20

Bit of a different view of M20 . I think my subs might be to long and I have over exposed the centre of M8. Taken last week end with no moon.

Hi Kuz,
Enough integration to get a decent result of this duo, the tracking for five minutes is pretty darn good with nice round stars showing. Overall colour is good but a little over saturated which is easy to remedy and the framing has chopped out the lagoon(was this your intention?).
Overall a nice shot of an attractive target.

Hi Anth

I dropped back the saturation as you mention , my stars look much more natural now not so blue. Framing was by mistake . My screen was zoomed in on m20 . It was only after I looked at my data and zoomed my screen out I seen m8 in the corner . Now I know I can fit both in the same frame it is this weekend's mission . I will probably try shorter subs to hopefully tame down the centre of m8

mission

Thanks mate
