7/20/2011 11:11:58 PM M16...again. Actually imaged this at full focal length of the Meade 10" LX200 (2500mm) under a 80% moon (7/19/11 11:30 PM). Used the Meade 10" and Hap Griffin Modified Canon XSi for image aquisition. Guided by the Explore Scientific 80mm APO and Lodestar. 28 - 5 Minute Subs, 5 Darks, 40 flats and bias. Image aligned and stacked in Images Plus 3.82 and processed in Photoshop CS3. Please bear in mind that the moon was out and no blocking filter was used. I just wanted to try long focal length imaging as I plan to do a lot of this in the future.
