Hi,

Here is an image taken with an Atik 314L+ through a SW Explorer-300PDS. Image is an RGB 10 images per colour at 30 seconds each unguided, just to test the camera. The central star is just visible.

Nice shot....Not an easy target but you got a great image there. Well done.

[Gina]

Yes, quite a lot of detail in there

Good stuff for 30 second subs.

For just 15 minutes exposure Nigel this scope and camera combination shows lots of potential.

Thank you for your kind comments. If these clouds ever clear when I am not on nights I will take some longer subs with guiding.

A fellow nightshift worker Hey, isn't it maddening seeing those clear skies during the week and just cannot get out to image one little bit of it.

Great shot well done. I must have the only job that allows me to take in my astro gear when I am on nights. Look forward to your next attempt. Great pic, nice detail.

I am very envious of you Paul, tell me have you any vacancies
