Nicely done Don. It looks like you are able to get good guiding from that LX200.

Very nice shot of one of my favorite objects Steven.

What modifications have you made to your C-11? I gave up on my C-11 years ago due to the mirror flop issue. I've been keeping it around with the intent to try and build some sort of a mirror cradle and then just use a secondarty Crayford-type focuser.

BTW, I recently posted a shot of this same object but at a somewhat shorter focal length:

Lagoon M8 Luminance - First Light

Posted By Dean Jacobsen

That looks nice Tyler. Getting the right adapters is part of the fun of dealing with Takahashi scopes. However, the payoff is worth it. It looks like that scope is going to work very nicely with that camera.

I recently imaged M8 as well with my Tak. Epslion 160 and the ST-2000XM:
