Froeng Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 ...another one of the "simple astrophotographs". Not really a "pretty picture", but the proof that even supposedly faint objects can be quite rewarding with little effort! Unguided C8 at f/10 on Vixen SP-DX with 20x1min exposures using an old Olympus E-PL5 I wasn't sure this was going to work - but I did manage to capture the jet coming out of the black hole...! Next time, I will try maybe 10sec subs and see if this would produce more detail. Best Regards Frank 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hals Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That's excellent! Capturing images such as this were out of the reach of amateurs not so long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
