Dave Smith Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Last night was clear but rather hazy and my original target (Leo trio) was in a bright part of the sky so I turned to the Crab Nebula M1. After just an hour the haze thickened until even the bright stars were almost invisible. So this is just 60 minutes in 5 minute subs plus darks and flats with a Canon 40D through my FL102S. I intend to come back to this but probably with my 9.25 SCT.I'm quite pleased with this as a first go.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Smith Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Thanks Guys. I was somewhat surprised that there was any detail - on my APT screen all I could see was a faint and tiny smudge.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
