Description

Clouds permitted merely 20 frames, processed in Siril, tuning in Photoshop. Not that bad for a quick shot into the (almost) dark. No filters, no calibration, quick'n sweet, just from the hip. The DSLR (unmodified though) in combination with the C8 tends to blue hues. Previous M8 images taken with the same DSLR through an APO were more inclined to reddish hues in M8. Anyway, for 40 minutes integration this is fine as-is; all you need is a dark unobstructed sky, accurate autoguiding, a beer and two dogs guarding you.
