This shot of M101 is my longest tracking and overall integration time of 22 shots, at 660" each, which brings me right to 4 hours. Even caught another DSO on the bottom right NGC 5474 which was a surprise I used my Canon T2I full spectrum mod with EOS CCD-CLS clip in, Meade 8" SN, guided with SSAG on Orion Atlas. These were shot at 400 ISO. Thanks for Looking Post Extras:       fco_star Pooh-Bah Reged: 12/13/10 Loc: Texas, Midland Re: M101 [Re: Ugmul]       #5726301 - 03/11/13 04:43 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   great shot, your 4 hours really pay off!

One day I'll sneak off to a dark sight, when that happens I think I will cry and not sleep!

Even looks like you have a few small, faint galaxies scattered around the image too.

I imaged this the other night, and I'm still trying to find time to process it. I was looking through my subs and thought I had a dust mote on my sensor, I didn't realize I got NGC 5474 also! I couldn't find it in Stellarium. It's a great find! Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 17 registered and 20 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
