ozpapafox 10 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 Hi Had a good run with imaging M8 last weekend just before new moon at the ASWA's Tammin site and was trying out new astro-gears which I had sitting in the corner for quite a while - my first image after about 9 months since the last one!! I was pleasantly surprised that there was fine details (bok globs) picked up by this scope's aperture when compared to my previous shot with the 8" VC200L Scope: SW BD ED120mm OTA with Hotech FieldFlattener CCD: Orion SSDIPro v1 OSC Exp: 10 x 2mins,, 10 x 5mins, 10 x 8mins. no darks, just 10 x 10min Bias PP: Nebuslosity + PS CS4 Better res one here C & C welcomed Thanks for looking Cheers Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radar 648 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 Good detail Bill. I haven't been to the Tammin site yet, but I'm told it is very good. I have been out of the loop for far too long. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
