Here's a quickie from last night. 26x2min subs using the ED80 and DSI II pro. I think the dew got the better of me as the night progressed.

Comments welcome.

Cheers

Peter
We were shooting on the same night, same object. Here is a 50x30sec shot of 5128 with 8"SCT and f3.3 focal reducer. Comparisons between mine and yours are interesting as the integration time is about the same and the cameras are the same - just different scopes.

Good to see the comparison. Nice images all round

Wonky guiding pretty much killed a potential classic right there. Guiding at that FL isnt hard, whats up?.

Thanks for the comments Andrew, Ric, Michael, Frank, Troy, Allan, Dan and Fred.

Not sure what's going on with the guiding?

Zoom in on a big star, is it round?
