Deepsky images

My setup and observation location are far from ideal for deepsky imaging. Even so, I got a Starlight Mx512 CCD camera and made a focal reducer (f/10 to f/5) out of a small (0.9'') eyepiece that fits inside the camera´s T adapter and that allowed me to get some reasonable images from the 8'' SCT. You can view the design of the adapter here and some photos of it here. Other images were taken with a 120mm telephoto lens.
