Barely Thor's

[qcdougn]

I took a few (15 sec.) subs of Thor's Helment last weekend, just for the fun of it. Boy is it a faint one for a DSLR and a scope in Alt/Az. So, this image isn't great...But it's been a target I wanted to try for a long time.

Not bad at all for 15 seconds! I'm guessing you used ISO3200 or similar?!!

[qcdougn]

Hey Dave,

I took several dozen @ISO 1600...maybe a few hundered would have been better...Ha.

Doug I am amazed you managed to catch anything of this object with 15 sec exposures, full marks for trying and a great result

Olly.
