Horsehead and Flame

[traveller]

80 x 120 sec exposures with FLT 110 and Canon 1100D.
Fair bit of gradient due to heavy light pollution from inner burbs of Melbourne.
I had to keep the sub short due to the summer heat.
Anyway, first post in the Deep Sky section (I decided to promote myself from the Beginner section ;))
Comments welcome

Nice one Bo. The Canon DSLR has performed well. I think you have met the challenges of light pollution and summer heat quite well.

Nice image Bo. Now if that Canon had a cold finger installed you would not have to worry about the heat....
Check out Rowland's recent publication of a cold finger primer.:thumbsup:

A really nice and quite natural result Bo, well done, especially from light polluted skies!

Aye, well done.

[Retrograde]

That looks really good Bo. Particularly impressive given that it was done under light-polluted skies. :thumbsup:

Awesome shot Bo!

Thanks Jeelan.



Just, had to play with ISO and exposure times to balance exposure and noise. Ended up with 1600 at 120 secs.



Funny you say that Glen, I just picked up a 1200D and have chatted to Rowland to get some assistance to make it a full spectrum cold finger mod. Stay tuned...



Cheers Mike. Love my FLT 110.



Thank you!



I used CLS CCD clip on filter, very impressed with its performance.



Thanks Kev. :)

A bit noisy but it doesn't really detract from the image. A great result!
