After the LMC the D200 with 80-200mm ED mated on the non-descript eq mount was directed towards the Key hole nebular.
By now it was getting pretty late, or early, depending on your point of view, and after getting better equated with a bottle of Mr Beam, I was more engrossed with the magnificent views the 10" dob was providing under some VERY dark skies (The Key hole with the 5mm Radian was breathtaking).
As a result tracking and focus didn't get the attention that was provided with the LMC and the camera was programmed with each batch of images and more often than not, forgotten about.
Details:- 30sec iso 3200 x 6 +dark
30sec iso 1600 x 6 + dark
95sec iso 1600
30sec iso 800 x 5 + dark
30sec iso 200 x 5 + dark
110sec iso 200
All shots at 80mm and f2.8
This wide field reveals The Key Hole
Open cluster IC2602
Open cluster NGC 3532
Cluster + nebular NGC 3293
Open cluster NGC 3114
Posts processing in Photoshop and have no idea if I'm doing the right thing!
Comments and criticism appreciated
