Experiments with Magellanic Clouds

[John W]

Dec 9th. These 3 single exposure shots were experimental ones taken with a new Canon Ra camera on a tripod (no tracking). All are of the LMC and SMC. Just testing what this camera can do. Can you identify Canopus, Achernar and 47 Tucanae in the first image? Or anything else? All images are heavily downsized from 80 MB files. Thanks, JW.

Well done John!!
Which lens(es) did you use?

[John W]

Hi Ken, Lens was Canon RF24-105 mm at 50 mm. I'll try 100 mm next.
Cheers, John W.

I can see 362 in the third image, but only because I know precisely where
it is.

I agree, The first two can see the Triffid, the last not so much. Looks like a great camera :thumbsup:
