Hi

 

Here are my results of last sunday at Montmorency Forest. (green/blue zone)

Forêt Montmorency (http://goo.gl/maps/yMRPu)
+47° 19' 46.15", -71° 8' 29.72"

The sky was amazing.
transparence 4/5
seeing 3.5/5
no wind

humidity 80%


The star trail is my best shot ever, for now !  Cassiopeia / Perseus / Andromeda Region.

I was “timelapsing†when a car came with high beams. First I was frustrated, but when I saw the last image I was very happy with it.  I will now use more light in the foreground during night photos to create a dynamic environment.

Here the timelapse. No post-treatment on the photos. I'll do later.

I had my binos 15x70 and observed some Messier objects, M31, M13, M27, M45, M81/82, Perseus double cluster, I tried M57, but at 15x, I was pushing my luck for such a little DSO.

I left by 22H30. E.D.T
