Having another go

[foundaplanet]

Forgive me if I have failed again to post an image here I am a bit dim sometimes .

Certainly no masterpiece but I was curious to see what I would get by having a go at this pair. I was keen to try something that was a fair distance away.

This is NGC2276 (spiral) and NGC2300 (the fuzzy to the left) they are about 100 million lyrs so quite a distance and I am relatively pleased with the result. Especially having captured a few other faint objects....

It is 30x2min unguided with unmodded 1000d + 20 darks.

Cropped to about 20%

(within the glow of Lincoln Cathedrals stoplights)

Maybe I should just stick to Cabinet Making .

Nice image! A lot of fuzzies there

Thats a very nice image. Amazing how long it has taken the light to reach your camera.

Thanks Yoddha

SJJ thanks, yeah it's a crazy thing being able to capture Jurassic light.

Some of those almost invisible points of light might be galactic cores, too! I see several that I suspect.

Congrats! It's a keeper. Nice work.

I will be attempting some imaging soon and would be chuffed to little mint balls to get an image like that, well done.

Just wondering though, is the image taken through a telescope, if not what lens did you use?

Cheers

Thank you all.

Steve, it is taken using 250mm f4.8 newt.

I suppose I said relatively because I was going for 60x2mins and had to call it a night for an unexpected reason and as I am new to this I am left wondering how it could have turned out. I am chuffed to little mint balls as you put it and it thrills me to pieces that this is my image. I have plenty of moments with it that do my head in because I am so poor with techno stuff but it is a great hobby. I hope your ventures with the imaging give you much fun..
