Hi,

Busy last night taking wide fields, closeups, and experimenting with EQMOD for guiding.

First the widefield, 10 x 4 minutes ISO 800, canon 1100D 75 to 300mm zoom at 100mm f/5,a bit noisy hot last night.
The image is cropped.

Closeup. 8" f/4 astrograph. canon 1100D. 5 x 8minutes ISO 800. Guided with PHD on stars.

Still working on EQMOD.

Cheers,

Justin

Thanks Andrew!



Thanks Laurie!

The widefield puts it into perspective.



Thanks Rick!



Thanks Paula!

Hope some others get some widefields, Lemmon is well placed with SMC for a few days.



Thanks Ralph,

Hope it clears up soon!



Thanks Andrew!

Yes will have to get on to that, but Lemmon's tail has got me by the tail:help:

Cheers,

Justin.

keep it going - a malin in the making - fantastic opportunity well done. crud and showers has killed anything off for coastal NSW around the hunter for the next week. so your shots are gold ;)

Wow!

Amazing photo Justin.

I saw in Starry Nights that Comet Lemmon, SMC and 47Tuc were going to be close on Tuesday/Wednesday but no luck with the weather over here.

That is one of the best comet photos I have seen.

Thanks.

Ross.

Another couple of beautiful images Justin! I had a go at a similar widefield last night, which I'll post shortly. It looked great through my 7x50s!
