One little, two little, Three little Messiers

Hi all,

Happy New Year!

My first three images of 2012. What a better way to start than shoot off a few Messier Objects. Here we have 3 Open Star Clusters, M46, M47, and M48.

All taken with a Canon 400D tracked on an Alt/Az mount, 80mm f450mm refractor. All 10 x 10sec subs at ISO1600, Darks, Flats and Bias frames adjusted. All Combined using Deep Sky Stacker, and BackyardEOS for capturing.

Simple Astrophotography that anyone can do on a budget
