Tarantula Last Night
As most found, there was a brief window of opportunity last night, and while I just wanted to "stare upwards" I also caranked up the G-11, the Mewlon 180, and the Nikon D100, on the pier. While all this was cooking ( normally 3 min exposures) I did some hopping (Palm DSC) with the 10" newt on the dob base a few metres away, and with a friend and his 16" newt.
Tarantula attached is 5 separate 3 minute exposures, with the Mewlon 180 (2160mm focal length), and a Mogg .5x reducer. ISO 1000, and the N/R filter on (in camera).
Stacked in Photoshop, and a small amount of levels tweaking.
Good to just get out.
