Hi again,
Here's a quick one that I grabbed on the weekend (Mar. 18) using my ST80 and MallinCam and focal reducer. I think the effective FL in this image is around 200mm. The FOV is a little over 1 deg only since the CCD is relatively small.
Conditions were average, a fairly bright moon was present, and M46 was getting pretty low. I think this was about 20 x 2sec images with the gain set a little too high.
Faintest stars are around 13th mag, but I wish I would have either turned down the gain or snapped some with the gain lower as to not wash out the background so much.
Thanks,
-Gord
