M27:
This is a shot of M27, the Dumbell Nebula. It is a one hour exposure on Kodak PJ400 film taken at "prime focus" on my Meade 10" f10 SCT. I used the Lumicon Giant Easy Guider and ST-4 to guide the image. Focus was achieved with the use of a Spectra "SureSharp". I need more practice with all of this stuff but this is not too bad for a first image! |
