2 Corona Australis's

I managed to image Corona Australis but again hampered by weather.

I also found I had imaged the same thing under the same conditions
using my AstroPhysics 140 scope and same camera about 2 months ago.

So the 2 images are much the same exposure (the AP had more usable luminance) so it provides an interesting comparison between an AP140 and a TEC180 fluorite.

The images look much the same except for image scale and of course the larger aperture gets a bit more detail.

TEC 180FL LRGB 20 10 10 10

AP 140 LRGB 40 10 20 10

http://www.pbase.com/gregbradley/image/115775760

same camera (Apogee U16M) same mount and location, smilar weather conditions, the TEC shot the object was higher in the sky but it was also under a 2/3rds moon whereas the AP140 was during no moon.

Both are super scopes.

Of course both of these shots are really really short total exposure time.

Greg.
