Sagittarius Star Cloud

Was windy but clear last night so got out the Canon 400mm for.6 USM L series lens and turned it on the Sagittarius Star Cloud B86 area.

Image is 8 x 5 mins ISO 800. Taken with EOS Ra camera no filters. The 30x live view makes accurate focusing so easy especially if i set camera to Manual set shutter to 1/60th or faster. That way the star image on the screen refreshes very fast and bright stars not too large. With that done I set camera back to bulb establish WiFi connection to laptop set iso and timer then start imaging.

Hand guided via 80mm guide scope and guide camera.
