Another Orion’s Nebula

Shot with my Celestron 8” SCT on my Celestron CGEM Mount.
A single 30 second exposure at ISO 1600 at f:/10
A little bit of elongation but I didn’t have a great alignment.
Still a pretty decent shot in a bortle 8 site.

Beautiful, I had no idea this image could be made with an 8 inch scope.

Thank you.
I get decent images with my 600mm Tamron as well.

I like the comparison between the 6" and the 8".
I'm favorin the 6" though.

Do you mean the Tamron lens? (The second one I tossed in..)
That is a telephoto camera lens not a telescope. 77mm objective and 150-600mm zoom.
It works well sometimes and other times it just won't play nice.
