I only had time to do 20 subs at 1 minute exposure after I had stuffed around setting up and waiting for the Lagoon and Triffid to climb to a reasonable altitude. Adding to this, windy conditions and dew cut my session short and despite trying to shield the scope from the wind with my body , I had to ditch half the subs due to bad tracking.
So here's the result : 10 x 1min subs @ 1600 iso f 5.5, modded Canon 550d with a CLS CCD Astronomik Eos Clip filter on a SW Esprit 100 unguided on an HEQ5 pro mount.

started this just last new moon too, as is usual i whack the iso up to centre the pairing with 10 sec exposures, when i was happy rattled off 30 or 40 subs
i (usually) always check the first sub to make sure of everything, but did not..................... 40 effin subs at iso 6400 at 2.15 miniute each!, my night was gone
this is the first time i have been able to talk about it!!
