chased cartoon character (Catarina, first try)

[silv (Annette)]

Hey,

got my first (test) done in DSS on a Mac with Windows in VirtualBox.
13 8seconds exposures at ISO 12800 !
and a glaring moon, too!
9 darks.
Sony NEX-5N with 200mm piggyback on the unguided Goto scope.

To me, it looks like a chased cartoon character, speeding away
- on invisible legs, obviously.

Ah, the wonders up there...

I can't see it Silv. You might have to take the photo into Paint and draw a rough outline for us.

Nice shot Silv and a great imagination!

Ross.

[silv (Annette)]

Thanks

The head is tilted to the back like when a cartoon is accelerating.
The belly is pushed out front.
The two gleaming shadows to the left and right of the belly are arms - and they are rowing crazily through the air, desperately trying to add speed.

The legs are invisible. Probably moving at the speed of sound. *tam tam tam tam tam tam*
do you hear them, nettie?

[Miaplacidus (Brian)]

Nice shot.

Time to give up the funny cigarettes, though.

[MrB (Simon)]

Something like this?

[silv (Annette)]

this is super awesome!

[Octane (Humayun)]

Oh, you got the mount sorted?

Is this your first deep space image? Beats the pants off mine!

Nicely done. Onwards and upwards from here.

thanks Octane. yup - that was the first.
but by now I have doubled the exposure time with the 200mm!
