Description

Here is M12 from the Telescope Live SPA-2 setup. I wasn't going to post this originally since it was from the time they were trying to get that scope correct, so there were some eggs in there, but I decided to try something a little different to see if I could save it, and it seems to have worked. If you have eggs, and the Photoshop darken trick doesn't work (and it really doesn't work well on globular clusters) then the Liquefy filter and some time at 200% zoom will. I almost want to post a before and after, but I will save that for a tutorial. So, here it is, Messier 12 at 5600 MM focal length!
