15.5 hour exposure!

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!

15.5 hour exposure!

Post by Barry »

Here's an image I got after five consecutive nights of capture trough my telescope on a single object this week (Total 15.5 hours) and two nights of processing.

Name - M20 Trifid Nebula
Type - Emission (red), reflection (blue) and dark (dense molecular clouds(dust))
Distance - 7,600 light years away
Location - Sagittarius (still in our galaxy)

Have a great day while you ponder the enormity of it all.
