Hello, here is some data from Friday very a.m! Guided very well in the East so combination of 45 sec and minute long exposures iso 400 with Canon 450D. Calibration frames.
Cheers

That looks exactly like the very first shot of it I ever took. Same framing. Only 10x better. Nice. :thumbsup:

Thanks Marc, that's wicked coming from you! Positive feedback really makes me want to go back out there and wait for the rain clouds to go!!!
Cheers
Graham:D

I remember when I first started this hobby also, seeing those images appear for the first time, the delight of seeing stars as nice round points.... Ah those were the days. Enjoy.

Very cool, I strapped the DSLR to the back of the scope at about 3am this morning to have a go at the same target, but the power cord got knocked out of the eq6 just as I hit the shutter. I set it up again and did the same bloody thing!
So I have a very ugly untracked purple blob. I like yours better :)
