The core, qld astrofest rocks!

[Zubenel (Wes)]

This is my rendition of the core from QLD Astrofest .Pretty happy with the outcome. What do you think? . The tripod head vertical clamp thread had stripped so I had to rest the back of the handle on one of the legs hence the angle .( a new tripod has since been purchased)!
20 sec x 78 ( 26 min total integration) stacked Lights, 2 darks in Sequator Curves in Gimp. Canon 600D ,Ultrasonic F2.8 3600 ISO ,17-55mm@17mm.

Nice going Wes. Looks like the AP bug has seriously bitten

Thx Alex I think Astrophotgraphy for me comes out of a wanting to share these amazing celestial vistas that I experience through the eyepiece. (probably like most A Pers). The path to the dark side started with the tracking upgrade to Zamar but will never be complete. You can only do so much with an Alt AZ mount eh! #destinedtostayabeginner

THX Alex. No self respecting Jupiturain like yourself would be on record in asking such an obscure question
