After seing Tom Davis's wonderful CG12/NGC 5367 image, I wanted to see if I could reach it with my gear.
Its much fainter than Corona Australis, even at F2.8 I have to really puch it to get anything.
This is a crop of the centre part of the pic.
9x10 mins ISO200. LPS filter. 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert. I used my unmoded 450D, as I wanted the 14 bit depth over the 12 of the modded 350D. Theres little or no HA emissions in this object anyway.
It was right overhead, and the moon had just set when I started the imaging run.
