Gabriela Mistral plus others in Hobart Skies

[graham.hobart (Graham stevens)]

Greetings all, I played yesterday with my cooled 60da and jacked the ISO up to shorten my exposures as it kept getting cloudy and threatening to ruin the night. There was a pall of wood smoke as well due to the wood heaters around here. These are all 300 sec subs (five minute) at iso 1400, with the EXIF reading 1'c on a 10'c night, 65% humidity.
The Tak 120mm was the scope on my CGEM.
The longest set were M83 just shy of two hours. Gabriela was about an hour as were the others, with dark frames applied.
Thanks for looking!
Includes- Gabriela Mistral Nebula and crop to show the "face", M83, M104 and the Leo triplet.
Cheers
Graham

Gosh Graham! You're really hammering away now! Pretty good shots - hope you get the PMX firing as well and you should be posting over there -> you know where anyway, not over here in the beginners section mate!

Cheers

Nice work, Graham. How are you cooling the 60Da?

[graham.hobart (Graham stevens)]

I got the 6oDa modified by CentralDS in South Korea- they were great to deal with and it works very well. It is heavy though.
Cheers
