This is from a few nights ago. Both images shot with a Canon modded 100D, 70-300L zoom at 135mm. LP filter. tracked, not guided, 4 min subs. The Veil had 31 subs and M31 15 Subs. Stacked in DSS and processed in PS.

Well done that man. I particularly like the Veil. Nice widefield.

Lovely images Stargeezer.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a 135mm lens for a while now, as I figured it'd make for some really interesting framing of certain objects - your rather spectacular confirmation of this might see my bank balance taking a hit in the next few days!

Very nice indeed.  What have you got in mind to target next?

I'd like to have a go at the Flying bat... if I could find it! (not listed on GoTo)...

Tim, this site has the coordinates for it, if that helps.

Thanks Tim, I was looking at it to see if its possible to enter co-ordinates into synscan and had concluded it couldn't be done. But I just had a lightbulb moment and it looks i can create a user defined object and put the co-ordinates in. Flying Bat here i come!

Nice Veil.

The bat is here, just a bit from IC1396, it's not bright, these were 600sec subs at f/2

Thats a lovely mozaic. What lens did you use?

[wxsatuser]

Samyang 135mm f/2

Sorry the Bat was 900sec subs at f/2 and IC1396 was 600secs, you can see that the bat is a lot dimmer.
