Following our at Mersing on 24 Aug 2012. Weather was
like wat Astrosiao mentioned - cloudy & unpredicatable.
But we still managed to get some images
Abit about the chalet first. Mersing chalet is a nice place
for AP, enviornment was great, rooms has basic facilities,
though I need to mention, A/C was a tad too cold!
NGC 253 (thks Remus for the correction)image, stacked with only 3 lights of 30 secs. Pardon
the bad image, jus for sharing.
SV102ED
Vixen SXP
Canon 40D (unmodded)
ISO 800
3 x 30 secs
