Barnards E

[Peco4321]

Bit fuzzy but it's there and a new one for me. This is 120 x 20 sec ISO 6400 canon 1100d stock lens 18-50mm, darks and bias stacked in DSS. First real attempt at stacking images just from the camera. Main issue was the pictures were all from a tripod on the ground, not tracked at all and I did not move it between shots as I fell asleep on the camp chair under the beautiful dark skies of the Dordogne. First image is heavily cropped as there was significant trailing and 2nd image just zoomed in to show the 'E'.

That is very nice.

I saw this object visually through 15x70 B's from Kelling Heath.

It is nice to see an object that, looks like its name sake.

Unfortunately not from East Yerkshire but from the Dordogne last week. Beautiful skies.

Nice image with the stock lens. Could I ask what settings where used on the camera and lens.

Cheers

Thanks. 

ISO 6400

20 sec exposures 

Zoomed in just a bit to get rid of foreground trees  

f 3.5 I think, anyway, as low as it would go. 

All shot in RAW. 

Darks and bias added for stacking in DSS.
