Widefield of M8 (Lagoon) and M20 (Trifid)

I wanted to try something a little different on this evening and try and get both M8 (the Lagoon) and M20 (the Trifid) in the same frame.  I recently received the 0.75x reducer for the RC6, so thought I would try it on the ED80.  It took a bit of playing to get the correct distance between the 70D sensor and the reducer as it uses an 80mm distance rather than the 55mm that most reducers are tuned to.  Also the reducer is not meant for the ED80 and this much reduction in focal length meant I actually had to push the reducer assembly right into the focuser in order to get it in the right position.  It did all eventually work however.
