This isn't great but I haven't got anything else to post due to various calamities.

From a short imaging session at kelling heath - it was very low and there was some high cloud going through.  Would have had a lot more subs on it but I jogged the collimation when changing the 1000D battery  :!  Yes I know there are some gradient and tracking issues so don't look too closely.



Optics: C11 Hyperstar f/2
Camera: Canon 1000D
Filter: IDAS LPS P2
Subs: 10 x 120s
Location: Kelling Heath
Date: 03/04/2011
Imaging start time: 02:56

There's plenty of detail there, I like the dust clouds.  You did well considering the conditions

Robert,

That's very good for just 20min total exposure.  This image is really beginning to show the potential of the Canon+Hyperstar from a darkish location.  I'm looking forward to more!

Very nice Robert.  Glad you managed to get something from Kelling considering the conditions.
