Details
Date Taken: 06/25/2016
Photographer: Bruce Van Deventer
Location: Cle Elum, Washington
Other Telescope: Meade 10" f/10 SCT
Mount: Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount
Other Camera: Canon D6
Processing: stacked in photoshop, in-camera noise reduction
Exposure: 430 sec, 330 sec, 120 sec
Other Equipment Used: Orion starshoot autoguider thin off axis guider
Notes: My first galaxy image on digital media. Slightly out of focus, sorry about that. It's full frame no cropping. It took a couple days of fiddling with getting the auto-guider camera and main camera to focus close enough, and in the end I only got them close and had to use a cardboard spacer, but it seems to be working. Very impressive technology since the old days of manual guiding.
