I mounted my William Optics 80/480 triplet fluorite on top of my Nexstar 11 to see how it would go prior to a dark site trip.

Here is 10 x 60 second shots of Trifid and Lagoon nebulas and they were really close to the 3/4 moon last night. F6, no reducer/flattener.

Modified Nikon D70, Images Plus, Nikon Capture editor, ISO 1600. Unguided.

Reprocessed with saturation pulled back.

The modded D70 is very sensitive to red spectrum.
