Good old 47 tuc
Was out on one of the only clear nights in WA for the last 3 months (damn winter). the night was Frought with nastyness that saw the 40d come up with a Error 99 (canons way of saying something is up the duff but we cant tell you what it is) and my imaging buddy coudln't get his eq6 to point in any general direction topped off with dew that could have been mistaken for rain it was that heavy... and that was just the half of it.!
The photo you see has got some really nasty coma (combination of a 2x barlow lense and MPCC) (thats another part of the nastyness night why i was using those 2 in conjunction). But the colors where really nice.
Photo specs
2x ED Barlow
MPCC (not setup)
40D 10" SW EQ6 Pro
Guided 4 1/4 DSE & DSI combo
5 x 2 min exps
Stacked in DSS
Processed in PS CS3
No dark reduction as the camera packed it in though ambient temp was ~3-5 deg giving very little noise in the image.
And also theres a picture of Lagoon that i did doing some testing of the modification. taken with a Equinox ED 80 guided with a Celestron 120mm and Orion starshoot on a EQ6pro in innercity perth using 3 minute subs and a Lumicon LPF.
