Two nifty fifty wide fields.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

Nice night Tuesday night, so a couple of wide fields from the nifty fifty seemed the go.

I centered my first image on NGC 6188 in Ara, certainly a rich region of the Milky way. 5 minute subs, a total of 1 hour at f/4.

I'm really pleased with the second image of the LMC, the nifty fifty worked a treat. I did crop the image to take out some of the sky glow from Adelaide, must have been a bit of dust or cloud bringing up the light pollution from down south.

6 - 8 and 15 minute subs, a total of 1 hour 7 minutes at f/4.

I must say the canon 1100D is handling the noise quite well with these longer subs.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Marc!

Here's the full frame you wanted, as it came out of DSS a jpg though.



Thanks jjj!

Actually your the reason I purchased a nifty fifty, I think it was an image of Crux you posted earlier this year.
Just had to have one after seeing your image.

Cheers,

Justin.

Must admit I've never heard of a nifty fifty but the results speak for themselves. Nice work Justin.

Thanks Ross and Steve!

Yes it's a lot better than the standard kit lenses that came with the Canon 1100D.

Cheers,

Justin.
