Here is an image of the Lagoon Nebula. I have attached a mid size thumbnail, but it is really best to see the full size/resolution image (and processing / exposure details) at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/Lagoon.htm

Scope was my Megrez II at f/4.2. The camera was the Artemis285.

Exposure was 20:10.5:6:6:6 HA:L:R:G:B. The HA was 4 min subs

Wow Jim, You are really pumping out the high quality images. Outstanding image!

What did you use for a mount?

Beautiful image Jim! You are sure getting great results with your current setup. You must have everything working together perfectly.

Thats a very nice image Jim. Well guided and nicely processed.

When looking at your web site, I noticed that you live about 20 miles away from me [I'm in Vista] and that you image at some of the same locations that I frequent. I'm heading up to Mt. Laguna on Friday for the weekend.
