oldfruit Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Myself and Cosmic Dave visited our dark site last night and as well as doing some visual i managed to capture M3 globular cluster and also The Leo Triplet. I think i need more data on the Leo Triplet but i am quite happy with the results as i am really just starting out in imaging. Canon 1000d, 8 inch Newtonian on an EQ5, 20 X 25 seconds lights and the same for darks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Good images Mike, it seems the 'dark' makes a difference! Mike? And i thought my memory was bad. The dark sky there makes a world of difference Ron, and this was with a bright crescent Moon. Should be able to tease out more detail on a moonless night.

Guest Eddy Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hey if you can do that on an eq5 with an 8 inch 1000mm I might be able to get something similar(I hope ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
