This famous Planetary nebula needs no further introduction. It was captured at where I lives near Queens town area. The image was made up of 25x30s exposure at ISO 1600 with my Mewlon 210 and Canon 350D at prime focus. The mount is GM8, the pictures were captured unguided.

Very nice and impressive. To think I tried to capture this a few years ago on film with manual guiding for >45min. Ended up with eyestrain and a bad back!

Thanks for the compliment Kayheem, we have it easier now a days owing very much to the advancement in technology. DSLR certainly makes astrophography more accessible to us amateur.

Hi,
This one is a lots better than your attempt on M27...

Mewlon 210 and GM8 are excellent equipment and make sure you can get the best out of them...

Have a nice day.

A little bit of trails, but at 2500mm focal length unguided is quite a feat. You might want to try the f/9 reducer next time.

cheers,

The comments are generally too generic. May be someone should help to enlighten on how to go about getting a better pictures. That will be more constructive to the forum as all of us will be able to benefit from it.
