Sorry, another cross post with a DSLR image, But I liked this one and wanted to share it with my buds on this forum....

I have done a Baader ACF filter mod on the camera and this image is the first with that mod. The field is M8 and M20 combined. M21 is there too along with a few other objects. Image as well as exposure and processing info is at the link below. The higher resolution images are a nice view if you have high speed. Highest resolution is at about 2 Mb.
