Hi Guys, well it was my ambition to put the modded 5D to the test and last night, was it, and although small I am very happy with the result.
The tracking didn't miss a beat and after a 200 percent crop the stars were still round.
Anyway enough of that, here we have the Ring Tail Galaxy, NGC 4038, and as I said, tiny, I'm pleased.
I actually went 9 minutes on the subs, brave move for me, as I'm usually not game to go past 5 or 6 minutes.
Here we have 12 exposures @ 9 minutes each, Total of 108 minutes, @ 400 ISO, through the Tak-106, and Modded 5D, auto guided with the Phillips Toucam, through the WO 8mm FD, on the G11.
Seeing, was good until 3am.
I know it is only small, but I have half cropped it, and quarter cropped it, the first being the full wide field.
Please be critical an pass on any suggestions.
Leon
