MikeD Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Anthony and I decided to hit our dark site last night, big moon and thin cloud cover made it not the best conditions for lugging all the kit into the countryside, but finding a night when we can both get out and clear skies is a hard task (this is only our 2nd visit in over a year) so we took a gamble.I only managed 2 x 15 min subs on the pelican before the clouds thickend , it did thin a bit again later so we both had a go at M51.all in all it was just good practice for when we can get out there on a good dark night.Our setupsIC5070 2 x 15 min's Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centroid Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Nice result Mike, despite the limited number of subs.Really good 'tracking' for 15 min subs, especially for a portable set-up.Well done.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 That Pelican is looking very crisp and detailed. As Mike says the stars look nigh on perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkis Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 You both have had a very successful night producing all those superb images. You must have access to a good dark site too, which helps for those very tenuous nebulae. Well done fellas, very nice stuff indeed. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
