M31, M33 and NGC6960

All taken at near Yanchep about 50km north of Perth
200mm reflector, EQ6 autoguided, Canon 350D
Ended up taking more dark frames than the actual lights due to clouds...

M31
6 x 300sec ISO800, 10 x darks

image size: 150k


NGC6960
4 x 300sec ISO 800, 10 darks, i had to over process this one to get the details out...

Great shots from a southern location. Sadly I cant access any of those objects unless I move my well polar aligned mount from it's present location

thanks people, they were my 1st set of shots utilising dark frame subtraction.
i'm yet to move onto using flats, it's a real slow learning process for me..
i gotta get back out there on a cloudless night and get some decent amount of subs.
