Hi all. I set up in my new back yard last night and tried a few frames of M8. Here is the result. If I get another clear night I may try to add some color.
Cheers,
Tyler

Thanks for the kind words. My new home is going to be pretty good for astrophotography because the skies are pretty dark. I took color data last night and will try to process it today sometime.
Cheers,
Tyler
