Acrux A and B

[von Tom (Tom)]

I was out looking at Saturn and Mars this morning (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=83781) and thought I'd have a shot at Acrux as it was rising. Here it is, along with the optical companion. Canon EOS 600D + 5x Powermate + 12" SkyWatcher Goto Dobsonian manually tracked.

Cheers,
Tom

Nicely done Tom. Shame we don't get more pics posted from dob users. Double stars in particularly can be lots of fun from the city. Was this a single frame, or multiple stacked?

Hi Rob,
Thanks, these were stacked from a video of 1000 frames, much the same as I do for planetary.
