Milky Way, EMS Autumn Equinox meeting

[Glider]

Last night was the East Midlands Stargazers Autumn Equinox meeting at Belper Cricket club.

In total we had 8 to 10 scopes set up and 15 to 20 members present, subject to a beer at the pub in Belper beforehand.

Whilst most people were observing Messier, comets and planets I set up on the far side of the club house to get a Milky Way wide field.

I used my modified Canon 1000D, with its standard 50mm lens on my old grab and go Bresser mount with single RA clock motor.

The image is 20 off 2min subs, stacked in DSS, pointing West(ish).

I've done some processing in CS3 and Celeste had kindly processed out the sky glow of Stoke in the bottom right corner that otherwise ruined the image.

PhilJ informs me that my random attempt at imaging a 'fluffy bit', actually caught the Sadr and NA regions.

Thats an excellent result Glider, you have really nailed the focus. I bet you are pleased with that
