Night two and better tracking with a few different selections
Oct 12, 2017 01:45:48 #
Tonight I went after a few classics.
The Ring, Dumbbell, & Blue Snowball nebulas
I Also shot Hercules just for grins.
I tried to shoot the Lagoon nebula but it was too low into my city glare.
I shot several frames of Andromeda and need to try and stack them.
All with the CGEM mount and my 6" f:/5 Newtonian scope.
All of these are single shots processed in Digital Photo Professional.
Little bit better tonight. Except the Ring nebula, I think I bumped it and I only did one shot of it.

So you went after all the little ones. And did a great job of it too.

These look the same size as I got when I used my D3300 mounted to my 80 mm telescope.
Great images Jim.

The Blue Snowball was a new one for me, I hadn't even heard of it but it was on the list of available targets for the night.
I might have to try with a larger scope and see what I can pull when the weather settles down again.

Yeah that's a great detail shoot that didn't blow out the core. A difficult one for sure.
