47 Tucanae

[rogerg (Roger)]

G'day all,

Second image from Saturday night, 47 Tuc. This guy has a little more trailing in him than the Orion shot and the center of 47 Tuc is over exposed by a little. But oh well, still an astro photo so must show!

14 x 180s (a bit better than the 3 x 180s of Orion) @ 800ASA.
350D unmodified.
Megrez 80 @ 480mm.

It'd be nice to have some more focal length for Tuc, make him a bit bigger in the FOV. I might try my Tamron 2x on the Megrez this coming weekend and see what I get. See how possible it is to focus.

Roger.

Thats a well composed image Roger. I'm pleased you've cleaned out your system bugs and are imaging once again.
