Description

:

2 minute x 3 exposures using a Canon EOS 20D SLR digital camera mounted at F5 focus on a Orion short tube 80 refractor. This unit was piggy backed on a Celestron CGE 1400 with tracking equatorial mount. Guiding was used. I used Maxim/DL CCD software from Diffraction Limited with Max Eos driver software from bearcreekobservatory.com to process the picture. Than I used Neat Image to further reduce noise.
