Don't mess with the Fuzz

Here's another go with the Sigma 50-200mm APO zoom attached to the modded Canon 550d and UVIR cut filter. This was taken in an orange zone of outer suburban Melbourne, so plenty of LP to contend with here.

The field contains the Fornax cluster, centred on NGC 1365. Happy to see plenty of faint fuzzies appearing, despite the low contrast created by the LP. Stretched the gradient to lighten the background to help show the fuzzies.

Just half an hour of 2 min subs @ f 8, 1600iso unguided on the HEQ5pro mount. Not a great shot but it will help me to frame an area of interest if I shoot this using the Esprit 100 at some stage.
