MAS dark skies first picture

Marc,

Wow! For such short exposure time that has come up so great.

Pity about those little doughnuts, but, I'm sure you could remove them in post.

Again, looking forward to a more exposure-fuelled image!

Regards,
Humayun

Thanks H. Yeah reflections from the MPCC. I could have painted them out during stacking as I did a meridian flip but I didn't bother as I'll stack more on top of this data later on. Actually that's why there are two donuts. One for each side of the meridian.

Nice looking image for such little data collected. Only vague noise visible on my screen. Colours look pretty good too.

Thanks Paul. Yes very little data but exceptional seeing IMO and good polar alignment thanks to Humayun.
