Just 10 shots of 2 mins @ 3200 and 12 shots of 4 min at 1600, with the Sony and the Tak. Loving the widefield aspect of this combo now, though I feel the seeing was not that good on the night.

What a great image Simon. Love all the dust you have captured there. Also really like the sharpness in the stars and the diffraction spikes. Real nice work there mate.

Sensational. You got a great amount of detail and dust for very little exposure time. That Sony A7s is a gem.

Thanks everyone, it's satisfying to get the best out of the scope, I knew it had potential.
