HI everyone,
I usually don't post here but I thought I would start
After all I have seen some of the best images here in Astromart forums!
The 15th of February, me and my imaging buddies went to 27N, both for the STS119 launch and for imaging afterwards.
The night turned out pretty good, but started with some difficulties: the Park Rangers were giving tickets to fishermen and they had their headlights right on us, so after waiting for about 45 minutes I decided to turn north and image M81 & M82.
I only got 2 hours because I was having some difficulties in Maxim.
Pentax 125 SDP & Mini Borg 50
Tak EM400
SXVF-M25C
Maxim DL
This was the first time I was using the IDAS LPS, since 27N is in a mildly light polluted area.
24 x 5 min. no darks, no bias, no flats.
Thank you for looking and suggestions/comments/constructive criticisms are very welcome!
