Hi again everyone,
Had lots of clear nights this way lately but have suffered from either horrid seeing or too much wind. This one was one of those nights with a bit of both..Seeing went from bad to worse while the wind started to pick up as well. Not enough to stop PHD from guiding or cause trailing but enough to cause stars to be bloated and soft.
This area is such a wonderful area to image and I think it is a favorite of many imagers here! and also for me as well!
Image is 20 x 6min with my 6" newt and Canon 20D. Picture was taken about 2 weeks ago and only slightly cropped then resized for posting.
I need longer subs again to get deeper into the dusty stuff but not bad for not such a good night! I am hoping for another top night next new moon.
Did have a great night a few nights before this night with some very nice seeing which really shows with the 2 images I took that night...Stay Tuned...
cheers Gary
