M83 and some scorpio wideys

[Osirisra]

M83 is a 8" Newt with a guided QHY8L on EQ6Pro with 5 min subs totaling 2.5 hour over two sessions.

Wide shots are with a kit lens on a 600D mounted on a EQ5 unguided 5min subs totaling couple hours each.

Dumbbell was with the 8" RC and only 45min worth, still trying to get it working happily with the camera and OAG etc.

Nice photos Ken.

I really like the widefields.

Your Dumbell shows good tracking and focus.

A great effort on all Ken!

Hi Ken,
some nice data there.
I think however that you've blown out the stars.

Have a look at this video to see how to control the stars better:
