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.

Love the galaxies

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 :)

[SimmoW]

Your tracking looks spot on, nice ones

[Astro_Bot]

Nice shots, Jo. :thumbsup:

You sure about those being unguided? Great shots!!!!

Acrux is really very good, Jo.

I appreciate your comments everyone! Thanks:thumbsup:

Give up the guiding, who needs it !! :lol:

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

Nice work :thumbsup:

Two very nice shots! Great work.

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