Hello folks, haven't posted anything for yonks and looks like my dinghy lessons are going to pay off re. the foul weather down here.
What I got when the sky was clear was attaching the 60Da to the FS 60 with the Tak focal reducer/ 0.72. It's a real tribute to the build quality that that little scope can hold the weight of the CentralDS modded 60Da (not a light camera by any means) and pretty much retain focus.
I took these over two nights.
I did the central part with both 6334 and 6357 in a single frame over four hours of 5 min subs at ISO 800.
I then took each with a different framing (approx 60mins x 5min subs), and decided to make a panel. First time for everything
The Canon (with CLS filter, it is a great advantage having an observatory in your back garden, but it is only a few meters away from the house where the footy was on!) was cooled down to max-2c with an ambient of between 8-9'c.
Re. my recent dithering post, I was in some parts dithering and guiding in Maxim Dl and some parts no dithering with PHd.
Anyhoo, here is the pics.. forgive the small versions. I will try and post a bigger one on another webbie thing and post the link
Cheers
Graz
