RCW105 23H

Borrowed gear at work from Carlos Taylor. A second look

Gum 51 Or RCW105

at this target I found when I did the Milky Way panorama. I am impressed with this small rig no end. so the question is 5 h data enough the answer is yes but if you want a quality photo 20H+ is best.
QHY183C -10 39 shots each night over 5 nights. 23 H

You make deep sky object capturing look simple Steve. Only your descriptions of the captures demonstrate the highly technical full process. This certainly worked OK for me. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Steve Paxton replied to Herb Riddle:

Its only simple once you have learnt , pulled all your hair out, seen all the road stops that you can't work out and gear that does not want to work. That about sums it up I do look forward to getting the Big 8" working again with the new focuser. The results are what I was after a quality image that I am proud to share, glad to share the world above us.

Many thanks been a while since I could make a comment internet problems with all the street works hope that is all past.
