My M79 was a really poor shot, so last night I got a better replacement. Still difficult at my Latitude since it is so far south, i think half the scope was blocked by my south shed wall. Just shot a short run of 20 second exposures thru the Bigdog 16 and Atik460 camera 5 lums and 2 ea RGB.
Came out better than the previous one and at least looks like a glob.
Clear skies,
Steve

Looks pretty good Steve. As globs go visually this one is a bit on the faint side, with very little resolution partly because it is down in the atmospheric soup. You've got some resolution there, so very cool!
