Long Exposure Toucam from Snake Valley Camp

Another camp is over.

That's 'Snake Valley Astronomy Camp' number 4 out of the way, and it was a blast!!!

Here are some of the long exposures I captured with the Toucam during Camp.

None of them have been processed properly yet as I am very tired (I didn't sleep much over the last 4 nights). But I thought I'd post them to give you a look at what I was up to.

All images with ED80 on EQ6, Modded 840k Toucam, 0.5x Focal Reducer, and hand guided with a Guidescope made by Bert.

Remember, they haven't been stacked properly or processed right yet.

1. Omega Centaurus
2. Sirius
3. Antares
4. Orion Nebula
5. NGC 4945 (the Great Edgewise Spiral In Centaurus)
6. NGC 4976 (a companion galaxy of 4945)
7. Centaurus 'A'
8. Centaurus 'A' with a small bit of processing done
