Wide field-'False Cross' area of night sky.
A couple of very basic images,from testing some new gear,a new equatorial mount,and a Canon 10-22 mm wide field lens,piggy backed on scope.(unguided)
Exposure is 4 1/2 minutes,the second image a crop of first.The seeing not so good (28th Feb Thursday night),the few previous nights were better.But sounds like the clouds are coming back,so I wanted to sort of test with this gear,while a had a chance.There is what looks like a red star near the Southern Cross,I am fairly sure its not noise,I checked the other images,and did a dark frame.If its not noise,may be Ron could let us know about it.
Some high cloud really picks up the light pollution from Brisbane 170 Km's away.
Thanks for looking.
Chris
