Barnard's Loop

[Snoani]

It has been so cloudy at night on the Isle of Wight recently and with just a single clear night forecast during this new moon period, I decided to ditch the mono camera and give Barnard's Loop a try using my modified DSLR and lens.   

 I was hoping to capture about 3 hours of data but light cloud rolled through for a while and so I ended up with just 1h 44 minutes in the end.  I have therefore pushed it as far as I am willing to and I am reasonably happy but would have loved the extra data to be able to bring out a little more of the bottom half of Barnard's Loop.  

104 x 60 second subs using a Canon 1300D, Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, mounted on an HEQ5.

It’s great to see these objects in context. Thanks for sharing.
