It's been a few months since I've even had my scope out and last night I tried to remember how to use it again. These are not great shots by any means but as I was up 'till 6am doing them so I thought I would share to make it all worthwhile ...... I feel like sleeping for a couple of days right now. However I enjoyed the chilly air hanging over Perth last night after all the hot weather we've had this Summer past. I much prefer the cooler months for the clarity of the sky etc. I'm also looking forward to the end of daylight saving in a couple of weeks.
All taken with ST2000XCM, 200mm Newt, EQ6 Pro, Baader MPC, Baader UV/IR
Most were 30x25sec exposures except for M83 and M8 I think. I processed M8 to bring out core detail and I'm pretty sure all the images are clipped because of the amount of processing I have to do to overcome my horrendous light pollution problems as I have described in prior postings.
