70mm Widefield
Hi all, went to one of my darker sites this morning for another go at the Barnards.
The wind was nearly blowing the mount over, but i gave it a RHG and it payed off somewhat.
2 images stacked in pscs2, 70-300mm IS @70mm f4, one image at ISO 1600 for 160 seconds, and the second ISO 1000 for 182 seconds, so this is roughly 5 minutes worth.
First image slightly cropped, second image is a crop of the first.
Still working on the processing side of things, but i am happy with the results.
I am getting my inspiration and enthusiasm from all the quality images that have been posted lately by the IIS team, i look at some of the images and go
awsome.
Thanks.

Thanks Mike, I have a few more to process, some with a hint of the witches head, so i am hoping i can draw her out of the noise.
I wish the lens was a 70-200mm 2.8, it would have sucked even more out of the night.

Thanks all for your comments, i tried but couldn't get the witch to show herself well enough, could see her, but just not good enough.
Jim, the lens has a UD element, so a liitle better than the economic Canon lenses, but still way off from the "L" 'series
Humayun, RHG, means Real Hard Go
a bit of slang i picked up somewhere.
Thanks again for all the nice comments.

By jingo's! You have captured some detail there! Wish I could go that deep with my webcam!
Nice work!
