NGC7000 Astro Trac

[Coco]

My first NGC7000 taken with astro trac.

This was taken in faint cloud,half Moon and my light polluted garden so I'm pleased with it

It also has re assured me its worth getting the gear out whatever the conditions, there's always a target to image

EOS 40D (modded)

Sigma 100-300/4 @ 135mm f/4

24 x 1:25sec subs

Cheers

Very nice. I do miss my AstroTrac when I see images like this.

Congratulations It's a cracker...!

[Deneb]

It's looking CoCo

[Beyond_Vision]

Great capture Coco it's just the sort of kit to take advantage of the gaps in the cloud

Nicely done Guy

Astrotrac is still very high on my "aspirational" kit list...

Amazing stuff this Coco.

[barkis]

Superb NA Coco. The Astrotrac has certainly made a name for itself for capturing images like this.

Ive added some more data... Lights at a different angle but added in mosaic mode and re cropped. Plus Darks instead of Bias only..

Am getting rather pleased considering the conditions 100% cropps show star trailing but forgiven ...

Thank you for the positive original comments guy's ... it means a great deal to us noobs.

[Les Tilly]

very nice

[Dangerous-Dave]

Very nice shot indeed. Good work.

[minimalist]

Wow, very impressive Guy, even at 100% I don't see any field curvature in that lens, very nice! Even my Canon L lens shows some at f4. Also shows how well the Astrotrac works at that focal length, hard to beat for a portable setup.

That's looking really good Guy, especially given the sky conditions you mentioned. Loads of contrast in there.

Cheers,

Rich.

[MidnightSun]

Great shot...keep it up...

[Deneb]

It's a 100% improvement, certainly the colours are different, never seen NGC7000 like this, certainly someone is getting some clear nights

Hi, it was sent to astronomiser

I can certainly say its worth it 1st class service and quick turn around.

Buy a CLS clip filter first, Thats a good investment.

This is a nice image but it appears you may have stretched curves a bit much and clipped the black point leaving an overly bright core and induced noise

What program did you use to process the stack image

IMHO

[Mark at Beaufort]

Wonderful image CoCo its shows what can be done with a Canon DSLR and the Astro Tack.

I have just compared your image with my Uranometia 2000 Deep Sky Atlas - brilliant.
