Greetings;
Finally, after all kinds of fits and starts (as
well as really bad cooperation from the clouds and moon over the last few
months), I finally have something to show. This was just a test shot for
framing, exposure, and testing the mount after realigning the ota with the
forks.
Single frame, 40 minutes with a Nikon 180mm f2.4 at
5.4 with E200 pushed one stop. LX200 guided with an ST-402 at
f/6.3.
Looking at the slide I 'think' I can get another
half stop (another 20 minutes) before washing stuff out. Bortle light polution
here is around 4.5 to 5.
Hopefully I'll get another chance or two at
this..weather and moon cooperating, of course.
Feedback most appreciated.
