Folks

Ivan was kind enough to give me a trial membership and i had a go at the ring nebula with his kit- arm chair astrophotography, without leaving my lounge.. sounded interesting. A 60 sec exposure is shown here

Astrophotography made easy??

Why only 60 seconds Prasad? Was that the limit applied, or did you decide the duration?

well there isn't any limit.. the problem though was that, as confessed by Ivan, the scope needed some PEC correction to be done. he said he will do it next week.. Plus, the cloudy skies, limited any sort of risks that could be taken..

Cheers,

Prasad

Nice Capture Prasad! I think that 60s was longest you could use anyway as star trailing is already apparent. Nice job anyway!
