Hi all,
this is my wide field image of the region from the Chamaeleon Molecular Cloud to the Dark Doodad.
I spent a while processing this as I had significant gradients to deal with despite the Bortle 3/4 skies at my friend's place. It spans approximately 12 degrees of sky.
Sadly, due to weather & other reasons, this was my only night under dark skies for the year so far (and the moon rose at 11:40).
Pentax K-5iis (modded), Samyang 135mm f2.0 lens, tracked (but unguided) on my almost 40 year old Vixen Super Polaris mount.
80 x 90 sec exposures (2 hours only) at ISO 400 & f2.8.
Really needs viewing at higher resolution here:
Astrobin Chamaeleon to Doodad
Thanks for viewing,
Pete.
