Re: [APML] NGC 7000 attempt

Looks good Bradley!  You might try a little bit more stretch to bring out more nebulosity in addition to a little more exposure.  Just my 02 worth.

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.
