Thanks... Ditto BTW

15'+ seconds across ans just visible in a 40D viewfinder fitted with a CLS filter I'd say yes

Not Bad Guy, just get them centered a little more. M3 is better defined. Just waiting for a nice time window for M13.

They were centred.. The wide fields are cropped 30%, wanted to get the interesting stars in..

I think I should also drop the 'rule of 3rd's' as this isn't terrestrial photography

Come on then lets look at the full frame then , I like to see the full fov of the triplet

[Coco]

Ok... I just checked they are a little off centred

BTW.... none of your flatteners here ya know!!

full size JPG squashed for web to satisfy Deneb's curiosity

mmm, the fov ain't that much different then my C100ED, but is a F9.

I fiddled with your image:

[Coco]

950mm vs 900mm I doubt there is.. But f/7.5 vs /9 is a big difference although in Astro am not that sure..

[Deneb]

Its back to you.

What Flatteners are those then

no seriously - that triplet is an impressive piece of kit & it should be for £1300. For that price I would want the World as well

Liking those captures. I notice you've got NGC 6207 in the same FOV as M13....nice one
