More eyecandy

Same setup as M33 photo. 7331 and Stephen's quintet with 20 minutes of exposure. I did not expect such resolution of the quintet with the 80ED.

Enjoy,

M1 up close HA

Posted By David Tasch

About 90 minutes of HA. Mostly 3 and 5 min subs. MN65 @ F11 (2x powermate). Atik 16HR binned 2x2. Losmandy G11. Stellacam II with PHD guiding. A little noisey with the numerous subs but I'm just getting the hang of autoguiding at the increased focal length.

Enjoy,

David
