Southern Cross and Pointers (another try) 25th April, 2011

[Astroman]

Hi all,

Had another try at this one lastnight... 10 exp 2m 30s each, Tracked using my star tracker, no guiding... Canon 400D, Canon EF 17-40mm F4L @ 40mm, ISO 800, aligned and stacked in DSS.

Had to remove a few subs which had aircraft flying through them...

the image in the link is just a bit tiny to view, couldn't make it slightly bigger?

[Astroman]

Thanks for the heads up David, I have adjusted the link now...

Now that's a fine wide field. Really like the presentation and you must be pleased with it.

Nice one Andrew. Fitted all in nicely. Good to see a wide field where the main stars haven't been blurred to twice their size..
