Title: M81 & M82 - Widefield
Post by: JohnP on May 12, 2006, 13:18:20
Hi All,

Despite a full moon last night I played around with the EOS 300D & ZS66. Below image of M81, 82 - Represents sum of 45 X 1 sec exposures. This is just the central crop of the full frame image.  I also took a few wide field images of comet (I will post later). I tried Leo triplet but it was too low down & too close to the moon...

Cheers,  John.
