[Analog6 (Odille)]

Seeing as I seem to have totally stuffed up my picture (otehr post), can someone post a pic of the general star field where Lulin is appearing, and do it today so I can look at it before tonight.

I've hardly been out observing in dark skies since we moved up here 6 years ago as we are in a light polluted area. I thought I had Saturn, but I cannot post the general star field shot from here at work (it's not this one, which was cropped - I'll post the full frame when I get home also).

Will do it when I get home. And suggestions on exposure etc using 300mm lens would appreciated. It's the SIgma 28-300 zoom. I also have a 500mm mirror lens but it is fised at f8 and as I use an adapter on the EOSD i lose a stop or two. Would this be any good, or is the field of view too small.

I have a 20D and 30D body and 2 tripods, so I can do them both at once.

PS - I went out at lunchtime and bough some binocs, hopefully that wiill help.
