The plough (the rectangualr bit) DSLR and lens

[StargeezerTim]

This is to add to image of the plough handle a couple of weeks ago. Building up quite a good map of this constellation!

There is a lot of detail here and the image (at least the tiff) will allow you to zoom in a lot to see the detail. For instance, just to the right of Merak is the owl nebula and surfboard Galaxy. They are tiny but they are there, and show colour. I think I am going to have a lot of fun going through this with a fine toothcomb...

19 X 3 min, iso 800, 70 mm (70-300 zoom), F 6.3, DSS, Photoshop and a bit of DBE.

Here it is, the big star is on the bottom left of the image. I flipped the original so that may confuse! Never stitched before so probably won't. Also I missed at bit between the handle and core.

There you go I did not doubt you I just could not see it zooming on the ipad but yeah ,have you tried the  Virgo chain of galaxy wide field the Mach chain ? I would love to see you image that as you seemed to have got a hand on this wide field  stuff

Lots of tight stars in that image, it has come out very nicely.

Nice image. Lovely star shapes and colours.

Great wide field. I counted 3 Messiers and 3 NGC's clearly visible, but probably many more lurking between the stars.
