stretching the LPI to the limit?? 47 tucani

Thought i'd try some deep sky imaging with the lpi and my new wooden equatorial wedge. Took the pic below using my lx90 with lpi. 21 , 16 second exposures stacked by autostarsuite software and processed in registax and adobe photoshop. Best deep sky i've taken with the lpi. Haven't seen an lpi pic of 47 tucani with so many stars. i think my homemade wedge is working well.

Hi Philip,

Good work! Do you have a pic of your home made wooden wedge?

I didn't know this was posible with a LPI!

I had a play around with your image, I streached the data in that also! I hope you don't mind.

Cheers,
Brad

Well done Philip! You should get yourself a DSI, looks like you're well on your way!
