Some fun from last night.

Guiding wouldn’t work for me last night so both these images are unguided.

8 inch F6 newt, Canon 1100D and iOptron IEQ45.

M86 and surrounding galaxies, 25x one and a half minute subs, ISO 3200.

Acrux, 10x2 minute subs,ISO 1600, pretty happy with the tracking for this one considering it’s at 1200mm focal length.

Nothing impressive, but couldn’t lose a good night.

Cheers
Jo

The galaxies are wonderful, but I like Acrux in particular. It's always a spectacular sight visually and this image reminds me of that view. Well done

Give up the guiding, who needs it !!

I'll go with Rolfs comment, an excellent image, quite spectacular A Crux but I do like the galaxies as well.

Nice work

Love the Acrux image. Like Rolf said - it's a very "visual" looking impression of the double. Nicely done.
