First Mersing trip for 2013

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!

Hi folks,
Here is a more wide field of the same target. High level of passing clouds really hindered imaging, had to keep the exposures short before halos start to impinged around the bright stars.

AP Mach 1, Modified 450D, Canon 200mm F2.8 EF L, 8x2min, 4x40s, F4 @ ISO1600

wow Kelvin....that's what I meant earlier when I said to bring the levels down but the sharper focus and spot on alignment brings it to a new level. As expected from one of our singastro imaging guru! :)

Elton, like magic. I like the first image, what did you do make it the sky so much clearer?

The second image is a true reflection of that nights seeing.

Nobody did a trip report, what was the second night like?
