M81/M82 Widefield...

[RobertM]

This was taken from Kelling Heath.

10 x 300s exposures stacked in MaximDL with a bit of tweeking in PS

Taken with EOS450d + 200mm lens @ f/2.8 on an Astrotrac mount, no filters ISO 1600

Unfortunately a bit of drift as PA wasn't quite close enough but not too bad otherwise.

Nice Robert - Have you got an Astrotrac or was it one you borrowed...?

[RobertM]

John,  I've had an Astrotrac for nearly a year but I need to use it more often.

[JohnP]

cool - I have often thought of getting one... I must have a look next time I am around... cheers,  John

PS - Any joy with the ToUcam?

[RobertM]

I'm taking it to DSC so you can see it there if you're going.

No joy with the Webcam as yet, might have another go tonight but I suspect the CCD is a duffer.

[JohnP]

  - shame about the webcam...

not sure about DSC - I have no plans to camp but may pop down during one of the days...

Cheers, John

Great image.

Bring the webcam to DSC, I am sure between us we can sort it out or write it off.

That's come out very well Robert.  It shows the how useful an Astrotrac is!
