Eskimo Nebula

[Les Ewan]

I took this image of the Eskimo on the evening of December 9th using a Skywatcher 300 PDS and SW EQ6 Pro mount.The camera is a canon 1100D coupled to a 21mm Celestron Ultima Duo eyepiece.

Although this set up is a bit heavy for imaging I'm fairly pleased with its capabilities for simple short exposure SLR imaging and with constant tweaking things are improving all the time.

The image is RAW and unprocessed apart for a bit of cropping.

15 sec exposure at 800ISO
