I go to the Algarve for two reasons only - to do astrophotography using kit I don't have at home, and to image deep sky objects I can't easily see from home. This year I went towards the end of August and came back with subs for 16 images, plus sun spots, plus the partial solar eclipse that we were able to see from there. Processing is going to be slow as I'm very much a beginner at the software I'm using and it's not exactly easy to learn.
I will add images as they're ready but just a taster for now
This is M8, an emission nebula known as the Lagoon. 60 subs in all - all the details on Flickr. I haven't imaged this since my days of 35mm, when I probably spent about 40 mins lying under the scope manually guiding it. How times have changed. I couldn't physically do that now, but the computer stuff that's taken over is just as hard in a different way.
