MartinB Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 That's a good result. Could you provide some more details. Lots of people looking in the images section are very interested in what equipment and exposures have been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people looking in the images section are very interested in what equipment and exposures have been used. Good point Martin I must have forgot (its been so long since I've posted anything lol), ok here's the numbers for those who're interest.... Subs:- 20x60sec @ iso 400, 40x90sec @ iso 400. Stacked with maxim DL and other fiddling with PS CS2. Scope:- LXD55 SN10, unguided (I'll get around to learning how to use the guider one day honest), Camera:- Canon 350d (unmodded), inside leg 32" lol...... Thats about all I can think of to put in, let me know if i've missed anything.... Regards.........Brian......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks Brian. How are you finding the SN10. Can you manage to lift it onto the mount on your own, I've heard it's a bit of a beast. Looks like a nice flat field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you can grasp the scale of the universe, you're a better man than I am, Ron. :shock: I know I know, I had a quick run around it this morning before breakfast.
