The popular duo
Looks like this region will be getting a work out over the coming months as it rises higher in the sky to photograph. This is my effort from last night and not wanting to waste another New moon, I was determined to get out there and have a go. There was cloud drifting past but plenty of breaks to grab a few subs in between. I only had time to do 20 subs at 1 minute exposure after I had stuffed around setting up and waiting for the Lagoon and Triffid to climb to a reasonable altitude. Adding to this, windy conditions and dew cut my session short and despite trying to shield the scope from the wind with my body , I had to ditch half the subs due to bad tracking.
So here's the result : 10 x 1min subs @ 1600 iso f 5.5, modded Canon 550d with a CLS CCD Astronomik Eos Clip filter on a SW Esprit 100 unguided on an HEQ5 pro mount.
