The Red Heart of the Scorpion

Post by cloud_cover »

There's lots of very nice pics coming in due to the spate of good weather so here's my humble contribution.
Definitely not as pro as the sifus!
Unfortunately due to guider issues, these 4 min subs were all unguided and sadly, it shows.
The following photos were taken at Sedili Besar on 25th June

Antares - Rho Ophiuchus
23x4min Subs, NP-101 at f/5.4, D700, ISO1600

Swan-Eagle Nebulas
10x4min Subs, NP-101 at f/5.4, D700, ISO1600

Pretty good data you got there. My early attempts were a lot worse than that. :P

Hi C-C,

Very good result for an un-guided effort.
