M57 second attempt Skymax 127 mak

[bigal1]

Hey all thought i'd post some results i got from lastnight , it was another test of my Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak scope on deepsky objects and although i intended to image m27 to my shame i could'nt track it down lol ( no goto ) so with the night slipping away fast i thought i'd have another shot at M57 . This time i managed to capture twice the number of subs as my first attempt but still it was'nt a great amount due to it getting too light . Equipment used was a Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak scope , Canon 1000d dslr camera and a Cg-4 mount unguided . Final image was 60 x 30 second lights with 45 darks , nice to see more red coming though this time .

Alan,

I have a Skymax 127 too and so inspiring to see an image like this. This is an astonishing image. I checked out your website too, incredible stuff.
