  • M31
My first attempt.  A crop of a single 30 second (Iso1600) exposure of M31 taken using a Canon EOS 300D - piggybacked on an Alt-Az mounted LX90 - histogram stretched.
As above but a crop of a stack of 16 - 30 second exposures - dark corrected using a stack of 10 30 second dark frames. A lot less noisy - although only the core and a hint of the spiral are visible
  • M42
This is a shot of M42 region in Orion.  This is just a quick test of a new lens.  It was taken using a Canon EOS300D with a 200mm lens and 2x teleconverter piggy backed on my LX90 tracking in Alt Az mode.  It is a stack of 3 15 second exposures at Iso 800.  Processed registax, Iris and Photoshop Elements.
