Mersing has always been kind to us by offering us clear skies.
This trip we headed for 3 full nights of astrophotography.
Been trying out with something new this trip and got some results after some head scratching moments at Mersing
And not forgetting the cold weather on the 2nd night that was as cold as 21 degrees!
Here's the stuff I took after much struggling lol

Amazing shots! Truly eye-opening for me to go there and see how the experts take all these shots!
Re: Mersing August 2012
good attempts with the cn212-g11 combi, Elton! At least you are getting round stars too, at that focal length!

Re: Mersing August 2012
Thanks guys!
There were 2 targets totally trashed... Mainly the ring and sculpter galaxy.
The angle was really awkward for the mount and maybe putting alot of stress.
Overall it was a good learning trip to try and take objects at 2630mm lol
