Description

:

5 minute x 5 exposures using a Canon EOS 20D SLR digital camera mounted at F5 focus on a Orion short tube 80 refractor with Vixen RS200 coma corrector. This unit was piggy backed on a Celestron CGE 1400 with tracking equatorial mount. Remote guided by using 1/3" chip CCD video camera with 2X barlow mounted on CGE 1400 = F22. I used Maxim/DL CCD software from Diffraction Limited with Max Eos driver software from bearcreekobservatory.com to take and process the picture. Than I used Neat Image to further reduce noise.
