Thanks, Patrick Hummm -- Scope, Meade LX200 12"; focal length -- um, dunno, used a Meade reducer that is supposed to make it f/3 or f/5 depending on the attachment -- the odd thing is, I used the shorter one which I thought should have been f/3 but Meade says it's the f/5; focal ratio, I guess that's f/5; camera, SBIG ST-402; exposure time -- not sure, I used a bunch of luminosity photos and one short exposure each of rbg -- total probably 150 seconds. I used MaxIm DL to program and take the exposures, as well as to manipulate the image. Also some adjustments using Photoshop elements. -- Best wishes, Joe On Sat, 16 Jun 2007, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Hi Joe,
Judging from the nice round stars it looks like you've figured out the problem you'd been having with tracking. Kudos!
Just a suggestion but when you post a picture could you also include data like Scope, Focal length, Focal ratio, Camera, Exposure time(s)?
Carpe Noctem!

Hi all, here's my latest attempt -- the center of the Lagoon Nebula, taken early Friday morning in the Utah western desert. It's better than my old pic of the Lagoon, so I booted that one out of the gallery. Thanks for looking, Joe
