Mersing 24 Aug 2012 - it's NGC253 not M31 sorry

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!

Mersing 24 Aug 2012 - it's NGC253 not M31 sorry

Post by cknjj »

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
