Mersing Sept 2012

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

bro, next year you all must join us in Mersing. lol
Our success rate is minimum 50% clear skies out of 2 nights. Most trips were 100% clear with stable and transparent skies :P

This trip round wasn't that good. Thin haze appears to shroud the sky and our images was not as detailed as it suppose to be.

Well, next year gonna be an exciting year for me. Will be trying a newtonian and ultra wide field apo :P

SO nice!
Quick question: The flare around the bright stars in the M45 shot seem to be asymmetrical. Is this because of the coma corrector, miscollimation or camera tilt, or is it a feature of this imaging setup? Just for learning :)
