Description

This image is a widefield shot of the M8, M20, NGC6544 and IC4685 area. It was taken through the new TS 71SDQ f6,3 Quad APO, with a Nikon D5300. Mount is a CGX.

Image consists of 50x60s subs, shot at ISO 800, with Darks and Bias Frames taken for the session. Processed in DSS and Photoshop CC.

The original intention was to acquire 100 subs, but cloud stopped that, thus the 50 subs used were probably pushed too hard in processing resulting in some over stretching of the core and brighter stars.
