[APML] M27 imaged last night



Hi All
 
Whilst I'm still learning firmly at the bottom of the "film ladder", I took a few higher steps
last night with my new ccd camera & filter wheel. Whilst no Robert Gendler or Tony Hallas
I was very pleased with my effort on M27 and just wanted to share it.
 
You can see it here:

Taken with my 12" F4 newtonian/Paracorr coma corrector/HX916 camera and True Technology
filters, untracked.
L=11 minutes, R=8 minutes, G=7 minutes, B=5 minutes (All stacks of 1 minute)
 
Appreciate comments/criticisms.
 
Just about everything went right for me last night (in my back garden)
Weather was a pleasant 65 degrees (unusually warm for a night in the UK), a little mist around,
the drive ran Ok, the camera and the sky co-operated. Shame it don't always work that way.
