Last night i was laying in bed coughing and spluttering with a bit of a cold coming on, so i said bugger this, cant lay here all night, awake, and decided to whisk away to the observatory, at 4 am this morning.
These two images are the better of the four objects i imaged, although it was a bit windy, it was pretty clear, and no dew or frost.
First is (Large Mag Cloud) 20 exposures @ 35 Sec's @800 ISO, unguided on G11, with Canon 300mm F/2.8 lens and 5D, processed in Image Plus, in camera darks, no flats.
Second is ( 47 Tuc ) all times and exposures as the first image.
Yes, its nearly that time of the year again to start LMC/SMC imaging. A marvellous presentation of the LMC Leon. Well done mate. Really enjoy the large FOV displaying the faint knots of nebulosity outside the large HII dominate region. Would love to see a larger image of it.
Thanks Ken for pointing that out, i knew it was in there somewhere, but not quite sure where, and thanks for the other comments, from you other good folk.
Hey Ken, back in dose days of film, and when i was much younger, about 30 years younger, i happened to get tis image of the Supa Nova and then one with a meteor, pretty poor stuff back then, but that is the way it was.
Love that LMC leon,
Fond memories!!
That was the first DSO I imaged/stacked and got a half decent result.
Remember thinking "Holy cow, I can do this!!!"
...how wrong I was!!!!!!!!
Great images mate.

They are great Leon. I notice that Tarantula hadn't formed then.
But SN1987a was certainly bright
Mike, when it comes to saving for web and that sort of stuff i really dont know what i'm doing, so to speak, if some one could suggest the procedure from image to posting i would be so happy.
