I am very interested in that, because I did my first pic of this region some weeks ago.
350d mod. with Canon 200 EF, ISO 800 2x300s
This was just a test, I will try it again. But I`m still waiting for better weather.... 
Maybe we can help each other with tips and experiences. |
Alan took it on an EQ6 guided with a St80 side by side holding my modded 20D with a 135mmL f2 lens (stopped to f3.5) two minute shots. he probably stacked the lot of 41 images but looking at the data i think he has about 17 usable ones that aren't that affected by light pollution.
we really wanted to test the camera/lens combo out as this is a target i wish to image at SPSP in a few weeks time. Thankfully Alan graciously volunteered to test the setup (his is permanently polar aligned LOL). That lens is so good, i will never part with it
we were also testing a new flats setup but unfortunatelly it has led to banding in the flats images - need to iron that one out.
So Al has done everything and i think given the location it is a great image - I look forward to more
