philjay Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Good aren't they Ron. Mine doesn't give spikes though Hang on..... I just reread your post Ron, F1.8. Those are well shaped stars at that, I find I have to stop down to F4 to get sharp stars Edited October 26, 2015 by philjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Checked Phil, exposure says f4 so it's the same as yours but really happy with it so far! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 That is really nice. If you look very closely, you can see Barnard's E, B142 and B143, dark nebulae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Needs a bit of dark adaptation, but it's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
