The Elephant and The Bat at 50mm

[RichLD]

A bit of fun from last night - QHY163m 15 x 600s, SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.8 @ f/2.8, Baader 7nm HA.

I've blended in some detail of both main nebulae using data from the Nikkor ED180 rig.

Thanks for looking

Thats amazing!  I really dont have a clue sometimes how close various DSO appear to each other in the sky.

Many thanks! I'm starting to enjoy progressively wider fields for the perspective they give - I also find them very gratifying and fun to do. Obviously you lose resolution and detail but given the opportunities we get for AP in the UK I can live with that. ?
