Hi all
My first attempt at Ponz Brooks as it appears in the southern skies. Very low in fading twilight and atmospheric extinction, sky was nice and transparent after a lot of rain recently so that helped. Used the Argo Navis to find it, pointing the scope then waiting for it to get dark enough, sadly theres lots of trees near my place, got it between trees, some of which were in the images, was tough to flatten the background.
Image is 40 x 4 secs ISO 3200. EOS Ra, 8 inch f4 Bintel newtonian
It was oddly hard to see in binoculars yet surprisingly bright in the camera live view. Processed in SIRIL and Photoshop. Cropped from larger view
Good capture you did well as it is still very low. I agree with hard to pick up in binos yet the liveview is easy to pick out!
Only for Canon users as far as live view is concerned. My D810 live view is like white noise on a TV screen in low light and is PATHETICALLY bad.
I have a Nikon lens to Canon mount adapter, I should buy myself a cheap full frame Canon with live view and use my collection of old Nikon lenses.
