Last night the high cloud cleared to reveal an unusually dark and clear Newcastle night sky, LMC visible even before fully dark. Heres 95 mins on the Fornax cluster, with the 6 inch F3.6 SN. MPCC coma corrector, Modded 350D. 19x5 mins ISO 400. No filter at all used, I wanted to capture all light including IR light, as was done
here He used no filter for the luminance shot, calling it a "N-RGB"
I had to get up early today for work but who cares if I was tired, I only work part time and wasnt willing to let such a rare dark sky go begging.
The barred spiral top left is NGC 1365
