Johnnyaardvark Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 OK, Not that impressive shots compared to some of you "pro's" but I have been wanting to try and see if I could identify the super nova in M82 just using my DSLR and 300mm lens and no tracking. Took a bit to get both objects in frame but having found them a few times in my 15x70's recently it's getting easier. Also required a balance between, light capture, not over/underexposing and star trails. For a start. Is the supernova still visible? I think I heard/read that this type should be around for a few months (?) Have I captured it here... just? Either way quite happy to have captured a couple of fuzzies with fairly basic kit!

Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I believe I saw it the other night visually, and it was where you say it was so I would suggest that you got it also - well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
