Hi All
A few images from last night ... calm, clear skies and no moon ...
very warm though before a 40 degree day today so only got chip down to -7 degrees. I shot a couple of other objects as well but not too happy with them at this stage of things ... may post them another day if they come together.
Images are a bit noisy probably due to warm ambient temperature ...
ic2948 is 1x600sec plus 7x480sec exposures ... had a meridian flip mid point through the shoot so it's a crop from a mosaic stack ( 123Mb file so heavily compressed ). I started to get field rotation with the 600 second shot so reduced exposures to 480seconds. May do another stack without the 600 second frame.
M20 is 4x480sec exposures ... test shot.
M16 is a single 480sec shot ... another test shot for the coming season.
I was falling asleep doing m20 and m16 so called it a night around 3am.
