My First Visit to Markarians Chain

[Stub Mandrel]

Not too unhappy with this, not least as it was taken with an ancient PrinzGalaxy 400mm telephoto. I fear it was slightly stopped down, but I'm very please at how tight the stars are now I appear to have solved my jerky stepper problem.

Nice image, Some good detail in there.

What sort of exposures were you using?

[Stub Mandrel]

60 60-second exposures at ISO 1600, stacking 90%.

Here's a reprocessing and tighter crop. More data & darker skies should let me improve on this.

Nice capture.
