Hello all...
Bit of the "publish or perish" syndrome going on here!
Seems so long since I've had the opportunity to image anything that I've just got to post the only new stuff I have!!!
A brief gap in the clouds before the moon came up allowed me to fire off a few widefield images to experiment with my L lens at the middle focal lengths.
I've just tried the extremes of the 70-200 zoom.So, I wanted to see how it went around 100-135mm FLs.
Composition was a bit of an experiment too.
Tried to do a triangle with Eta and the 2 clusters.
I was also keen to see if the modded DSLR would pick out the fainter nebulosity around the region.
