Two for one
Did an initial wide field om M20 and M8 in a single frame. This is my trial shot.
As I write, I'm gathering a couple more hours of data with a little better framing.
Astro Tech 65mm APO piggybacked on LX200ACF 10". SBIG ST 8300M, single 10 minute exposure through each RGB channel. Captured using CCDSoft, processed in CCDOpps.

Re: Two for one
That's a trial shot? I hate you. You are a lucky guy...those AT65's are hard to come by, but it's a great little piece of glass in the right (your) hands. Looking forward to seeing what you collect. G/luck...

Re: Two for one
Hi Dave,
That's a pretty clean image for one frame!
Can't wait to see it with more data.
Cheers,
Justin.
