Hi all,
posting my first lousy standard M8 captured last night with
my buddy - Jeremy aka Astrosiao.
Was rather cloudy but still manage to get some shots.
Image is noisy, as I've not tryout any stacking. Only play around
on PS (CS 6) some adjustment to the images. Not a good pic, but
heck.....Im still proud to get it. But do feel free to comment, your
comment may just help me improve. Thank you.
attached image captured with following equipment
SV102ED on Vixen SXP mount
Orion SkyGlow Broad Band filter
Canon 40D (unmodded)
30 seconds exp. ISO - H
