LMC from Coonabarrabran

Focus focus focus!!!

Spent a couple of days in Coonabarrabran this week and thought I'd have another go at some astro photography with my D200 and 80-200 ED 2.8 lens on the non-descript eq mount with RA drive under some VERY dark skies.

Armed with a little more knowledge on focusing a DSLR thanks to a recent article in Australian Sky and Telescope I spent what seemed an eternity focusing and attempting to drift align with info obtained within the pages of IceInSpace.

So, here we are. Focal length-80mm
5, 30 second shots at iso 3200 + dark
5, 30 second shots at iso 1600 + dark
5, 30 second shots at iso 800 + dark
5, 30 second shots at iso 200 + dark
1, 60 second shot at iso 3200

Taken with cameras onboard long exposure and high iso filters.
Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and no after processing.

Please criticise and offer tips

Cheers
Deeno
