LMC in fog and smoke

[leon]

Hi All,

I was prepared to get in some really imaging last night, got set up and you guessed it smoke, fog etc.

Anyway was able to get in three Lights, and any amount of Darks, through the fog.

Image, LMC. Seeing about 4/10

135mm Lens @2.8, Canon 5D, 3 Images @ 2 minutes, tracked, no guiding, dark subtracted and combined in Image Plus, touched up in Photo Shop CS2

Cheers Leon

Horrible conditions to deal with Leon but at least you pulled something out!good effort and I hope conditions improve out your way soon.

Hi Leon, it sounds like you had some horrible conditions and seeing, but you still got a good image, well done.

Cheers

Louie, Ric,

Yes, it was pretty poor, but i decided, well i'm out here now, might as well try for something.
At least i know that there is room for improvement, when the sky dose settle down again

Cheers Leon

Thanks for that, yea i know Ken it dosn't look promising at all, and when it dose get better the Moon will be out, so we just wait.

Congrats on your new Mount Ken, hey, now i know why it's cloudy and stuff, it's Ken's fault.
