The SMC and the Nifty 50

[DJT]

The SMC is a great naked eye object if you can get to a dark site

Full Size. The Small Magellanic Cloud (http://astrob.in/full/217673/0/)

This is 75 subs at 30 seconds with darks auto subtracted at ISO3200 using a Canon 60da with the blessed nifty 50. Mount was a teegul patrol II. Processing through PI.

I havnt nailed PA at the dark site so pixel peepers beware but viewing it widefield in this context to me personally is quite enjoyable.

Thanks for looking

Lovely big FOV, David!

Huge field of view which makes for an interesting looking image. Colour is nice too.

Cheers gents, just a bit of fun under perfect skies to take away the frustration of 5/16 bolts being too short to secure the Ap900 to the Planet on my first "portable" imaging night. Grrr. :P
