Sirius, Betelguese, and Alpha Centauri
Three interesting stars taken in full daylight. The colours of Betelguese and Alpha Centauri really stand out in the eyepiece.
Thank for looking
Tom

I am amazed that you could do that &
it looks like you didn't have to stack 100 frames to do it -
they are single shots.
cheers

Thanks guys
Hi Allan. These were stacked piccies, I just recorded the equipment and exposure setting. The seeing for Alpha Cen wasn't very good at all so I might give it another go.
Cheers,
Tom

Very interesting. Might be good to try a bright glob like 47 Tuc in daylight.

OK - so they were stacks - I suspected that.
How many in each stack?

Tracked Alphard into sunup a couple of mornings ago with the ED100 and 28mm eyepiece while taking darks for a comet shot. 2012 K1 at mag6 was not bright enough to survive the glare though.

Each video was about 20sec to 1 min at 30fps. Each image had different stack sizes.
