oldfruit Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This is almost 2 hours worth of subs, i wanted to get more but hazy cloud last night put a stop to that. 240x 30seconds lights, about 30 darks, iso 800. Taken with a Canon 1000d on a helios 8 inch newt on an eq5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You've got a lot of detail in there Mark, seems last night was a busy night for imaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 I was just frustrated with the haze last night, i would have liked to have got a couple more hours on it to be honest though i suppose i can add to it at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It was a strange sort of night, looked clear enough but when I looked at M51 in the 12" Dob there wasn't as much detail there as I would have expected. I didn't bother trying to get Saturn as the view in the scope was very unsteady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken with a Canon 1000d on a helios 8 inch newt on an eq5. That's great mark. Really good picture. Can I ask how come the background sky isn't very dark? Is there a lot of LP where you image from?

Is there a lot of LP where you image from? Yes Felix, it was taken in my garden and i live in town. Also my processing is in its infancy, as i do not do too much imaging.
