The Gabriela Mistrela Nebula and friends

[Lognic04]

Hi all, :hi:

I took this pic at LMDSS on the messier star party. I'm really happy with this! :D Especially how much Ha I got with the unmodded DSLR! :D

Ive included the gabriela nebula, an open cluster and a faint arm of eta car. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately its a bit out of focus :( Autofocus wasnt working properly for some reason. v curve was fine, came into focus at the completely wrong spot, help? maybe the large amount of coma i have? :help:

CGEM, MT-160 (6 inch f5), EOS 700d, 30 frames, 5 minutes at iso 800
:thumbsup: :D

Yep! Even if the image isnt perfect i had a lot of fun observing :) Especially with a TSA-120. Oh man, that was amazing! Possibly the best views i have ever had through a scope! :eyepop: The stars are so sharp! :prey2::prey2::astron:

And that's the name of the game I recon Logan, it is a nice image but it is the whole experience of a clear night sometimes, not just how perfect the image result is :thumbsup:
