M8 Lagoon

One good thing about a new camera is the opportunity to re-shoot a number of targets. I've done M8 before but with a DSLR.

This is about 4.75 hours worth of image (285x60s) and darks. I think there's a few dodgey images in the batch so if I find them this may well be reprocessed and appear again!

...switching to a dedicated astro camera has made all the difference.

Indeed it does. And there's almost as big a difference switching from a color astro camera to a mono camera with filters.
