Imaged in my backyard with a Skywatcher ED100 & dslr.
The tracking is slightly out but the colours are nice

Hi guys,

Camera is 80D, prime focus, 6 seconds, 100 iso.
I have a website where I post images that has more info:

Processing is minimal, just the default 'unsharpen' option in the Gimp.
I am just getting started in this game & am having fun.

I was lucky that we had a pretty good sky here that night, probably one of the best in the world. Not even many mozzies!!

Hey there,

I really wanted to use the 20d I bought from you to bring out the redder colours, but didn't do it. I bet it would have looked really cool.

Nice job, but you could have got pinpoint stars by using ISO 800
and around 0.5 sec.

Thanks for the tip Raymo, much appreciated.
What did we do before the web.
