After restoring my Celestron C8, it was time to try some deepsky. The C8 is equiped with an ETX70 frome Meade, as guiding scope. The combination is placed on an EQ6 Syntrek mount. This image consists of 7 frames with an exposure time of 5 minutes each, at ISO1600 (Canon 400D - Baader mod.). The image is processed in PhotoShop. I used 5 layers to achieve the high dynamic range. Although some collimation on the telescope has to be done, the scope passed the first test.
