wow, for only 4 subs i think you captured an amazing amount of data. Wonder what will happen when you have 20 or so of those

P.s. i guess you meant 1x900s not 1x9002 ?

Stars are also very tight. Can you elaborate on the equipment you used and how dark your skies are? Would be interesting for me to know - as i have already shot that target - for comparing.

Kind regards, Graem

Thank you Graem! And thnk you for finding my typo. I sure wish i could get 9002 seconds of exposure time

I just added the equipment used above the image. Unfortunately I have to be level 8 on this forum to create my signature where I will list all my gear

Great, thank you!

9000s exposure, would be interesting to test one day, but i'll let somebody else do the starcontrol on that one  

Kind regards, Graem

The bubble's well defined. Nice job considering the subs you got.

[laudropb]

Very nice for so few subs.

Excellent start

Excellent start, when you have sufficient data don't be shy to go a little sharper as even at this scale it can reveal some excellent details in the bubble itself.
