Re: [APML] E200 North America + 1/3 Pelican Nebula

Raymond, I think I agree with the earlier post that given the f-ratio and the film speed (even if you push processed it), you need more exposure time. Guiding and framing are good.

Dear all,

Single image of 30 min North America (main target) + 1/3 Pelican Nebula, taken by Leica M280mm lens at F5.6, on EM200 mount with webcam autoguide by 50mm finder (183mm focal length), at East Dam, Sai Kung, Hong Kong on 13-07-2004.

Focus is a bit soft due to very dim viewfinder in Ricoh camera body (20 years old).

Transparency : about 7/10
Stability : about 7/10
Wind : mild
Light pollution : some squid boats there with strong flood lights.
(one of the very good clear summer nights, if not light pollutted by squid boats).
