M57 with C9.25 no guiding, darks, flats or bias

[PeterCPC]

I imaged Neptune with my C9.25 and when I finished I thought that I would try a little experiment. Using the C9.25 I imaged M57 with my Canon and 90 20sec exposures with no guiding, flats, darks or bias frames just to see how it would work. DSS stacked 72 of my images and this was the result. Not brilliant but not a disaster either. Obviously not as good as stacking long exposures but it's interesting to see what 24 mins total exposure time can produce.

This is great. Encouraging as well to those who can only get shorter exposure lengths.

Very impressive for an unguided image.

Well I'm impressed, a great result for 20sec subs stacked!

Is this at native f/10??

Yep no reducer employed. Just my Canon straight in the back via a clicklock & adapter. I went for the minimalist approach

Hmm perhaps I'll try some DSO with my Meade some time. Nice first attempt
