Lovejoy; M42

[casstony]

As a non-imager I tried to get a few happy snaps of the comet last night and they turned out quite well (for me ) so I gave M42 a go. These are single 30 second exposures, ISO 1600 on a Canon 600D using an flt98 and CPC alt/az mount.

No, no, no, Rod......... I'll get a 30 second shot of the eta Carinae region then pull back from the event horizon .

good work Tony -gotta be happy with the detail in m42, you should go to 1min on the comet & see if you can snag some tail

Good for 30 seconds. Now take a lot of the same and stack them. We will pull you in to the black hole yet.
