LMC Quickie
Hello all...
Weather in SA has been unkind to imagers.
Managed a short session 3 nights ago - thwarted by clouds...always amazed at how quickly those guys can appear and take over!
Managed 5x300 second exposures at iso1600 - nowhere near enough exps to overcome the iso1600 noise unfortunately. So, result is a bit noisy.
Image details...
Canon 40D (modded)
Canon 70-200mm f4L lens, 200mm @ f5.6
Hutech IDAS LPS2 Filter
Skywatcher Synscan EQ5 mount
Autoguided with PHD
ICNR + Flats
LMC was pretty low too, so overall a bit rough n' ready with the noise.
No link to high res version as I'm just happy to see the potential of the rig on this object - shows promise I reckon.
All the best
Doug
