Cygnus Widefield form Dalby

[Gordon G]

Well it's been easily a year before i have had chance to take any pics. Went to Dalby Star Party and was rewarded with a beautiful Clear sky for a few Hours. Did visual stuff most of the night, but did take one widefield shot before the clouds rolled in.

Widefield of Cygnus 190sec ( plus a dark ) with a modded 300d and a 50mm Cheapo Canon lens set at f2.

Bit noisy still, But Chuffed to bits with it since it is the first piccy done in over year !

Hi Gordon,

Fantastic image! I was dead impressed just seeing it on the view screen of your camera (see my observing report from Friday night), it looks even better enlarged! Thanks for letting us look through your LX200 as well, it was a great night.

Good one Gordon. Saw it in the raw on't back of't camera, well worth the sweaty stuff when you modded the the little beast.

Cheers Mike

Hi Gordon

Lovely shot!!

Would you mind putting up the unprocessed shot from the camera please?

I am starting widefield shots, and I imaged this area. However my stacked version of 10x2mins is nowhere near the quality of yours!

cheers

Excellent shot Gordon, I think I like wide fields more than any other form of astro shot.

That's a super Image Gordon, and I'm so pleased Dalby let someone get something from the sky other than rain.

How was the weekend on the whole, was there enough clear sky to shout about this year.?

Cracking widefield image Gordon, good colour. The cheapo 50mm lens did a great job. Well done.

great image, and nicely processed. apart from stating the obvious, but you have really managed to bring out all the HII region in there.
