68 minutes of the Pacman nebula, (72ED + 7D + AZ-GTI)

[FaB-Bo-Peep]

Here we have a total of 68 minutes, (17 x 4 minute exposures), of the Pacman nebula. It requires a bit of imagination so I've helped out with an outline on the second rotated and cropped version. The exciting thing here is that this is the first real image produced from my recently completed portable mount setup and I pushed the guiding and successfully achieved 4 minute individual exposures with no visible trailing of the stars. Still in my light polluted back garden at the moment but everything is now ready to break free and venture out to darker locations 🙂

(72ED + 7D + AZ-GTI + ASIAIR PRO + LPRO),

 its coming through nicely especially for such a short integration time

I'm sure someone with better processing skills could extract even more from the captured data so here's the FTS file straight out of DSS to have a play with if you so desire.
