Hi. Good conditions last night allowed me to have a go at the Running Chicken.
There were a few problems at the start, bad alignment and bent spider veins causing extra diffraction spikes. After reading up on an Iceinspace thread, I fixed the spider vein. I then got the alignment really good that allowed 5 mins exposures. I opted on 4 mins mostly and varied from ISO 400-800.
Unguided, unmodded 500d, neq6 pro, sw8"f5 blue tube 1000mm fl.
Total of 1 hr 16 mins exp.
Thanks for looking.
Steve.
