Just got in from a little shooting session with the telescope.\u00a0 Brr, it’s cold out there – but the wind was non-existent and the air was dry.\u00a0 Put that all together, and that means is that seeing was pretty darned good – no turbulence in the air, and no wind to bat around the scope.\u00a0 But I’m still working on getting my deep sky shooting technique back, so the shot I got isn’t exactly top notch, but still wanted to share.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At just over 2 minutes long, you can see a little movement in the stars of this shot of the Orion Nebula (M-42).\u00a0 I think I need to break down and get a counterweight set for the scope to balance things out.\u00a0 The 40D does throw the scope out of balance more than my old Minolta SLR did back when I got it in the late 80’s<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8337]\n
Hey, live & learn…<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
