Wednesday I managed to get some time in on the 10" with some test shots, guiding tweaking & trying out the untracked/tracked, long exposure method of aligning...nice not to have to limbo dance with an illuminated reticle.
First image is an unnamed nebula in Cygnus, RA 20h00m05s, Dec 35° 18' 10".
4x10min ISO800, 1 dark, low in the sky but wanted to take a look.
Anyone know a 'common' name for this one?
Friday did a bit of widefield with the 50mm lens after the moon went down, seeing was good but transperancy was a bit average.
In order of appearance...
2. Scorpio Heart - 8x10min, ISO800, 4 darks, uncropped.
3. A slightly different crop of the above.
4. And lastly Cygnus - 10x5min, ISO800, 5 darks, again way too low for a nice image but went for it anyway. :lol:
You can just make out the Veil nebula mid-bottom & M27 up top-right.
Here's hoping the new moon brings clear skies. :thumbsup:
