M51 from south France

[jarbi]

Hi Everyone,

I am just back from a one week astrocamp in south France, which was less than satisfying what the weather concerns . We had two of the 7 nights clear, the rest was cloud watching and hoping... . On the positive side, I could test my side to side mount ( Skywatcher 10" ED80 Skywatcher 105/500 for guiding ), and it worked great. My EQ6 & EQMOD was working fine with more than 20 kg payload and 30kg counterweights .

I just started to process my few photo's, this M51 is my favorite. 15x 5min guided exposure on Skywatcher 10" Newton in direct focus, with modded Canon 350D & Baader MPCC corrector, captured and stacked with Nebulosity, final processing in Photoshop.

cheers,

Janos

Superb image Janos. Two out of seven nights is good going for my part of the UK. It looks as though you made the most of what you had though.

Thanks all, I am totally chuffed reading your replies. The most amazing part I cannot show off: that beautiful dark sky, far away from all cities and light pollution. During the photo sessions I have visited many deep sky object with a 100mm bino, I didn't want to miss any minute
