Last Saturday when Mr Moon decided to show his ugly face I thought I'd try to beat the little bugger by going to 2400mm FL.
Had a play with a few objects, mostly just 15-20 minutes worth with moderate success then turned the scope on M27 for the final run.
So here it is, 2hr & 15min worth of 27x5min subs @ ISO400, darks, no flats(finally got my EL panel so that will change), approx 25% crop with the usual lazy processing in PS.
Was hoping to get some more, much needed hours the next couple of nights before the Moon became too dominant but our unseasonal clouds have returned to stuff things up again.:shrug: :sadeyes:
I think it has potential with more hours thrown at it, might get some nice detail coming through but thought I'd share it anyway.
What amazes me most about the image is that my stars are actually round, :eyepop: (well, roundish) at 1200mm is amazing enough but 2400mm...WOW!! :lol:
Hope you likey
Justin.
