First DSO in six weeks - M13

[brendant]

First time I have had the scope out in a long time, back trouble has seen to that, dragged it out for half an hour tonight and had a quick go at M13, typical a beautiful day all day but the clouds soon rolled over as usual. Still nice to get a go, all the usual problems, everything that could go wrong did, dead batteries, alignment etc..

Imaged with the ED80 and 400D, guided on an EQ5, 23 Mins an 30 / 45 and 60 second subs (36 in total) all at ISO800, stacked in DSS and finished in PS.

It was a half hour well spent though

I gave up last night and glad i did as the wind continued to pick up over the next few hours... Leaves and small branches everywhere this morning...

Thanks all for the positive feedback, nice to get a chance to get the gear back out even if it was only for a brief spell.

Very nice to see it in a wider context. The propellor is showing up really well too
