Description

Every summer I try to shoot M8 and M20 and I think this is my favorite so far. I shot this with a tandem rig: FLT91 and Z61 on an iOptron GEM28. The FLT91 was attached to an ASI 6200 MM and the Z61 to a ASI2600 MM. This was a little bit beyond the mounts capacity but it handled it well enough. I had some flexure with the Z61 probably because I was using rings to align the scopes but as I only used the Z61 for color I was able to process the slight drift out.

Luminance FLT 91 18 by 300 s FLT 91 ASI 6200 MM f5
RGB each 6 by 300 s Z61 ASI 2600 MM f 5.6
