This image did not turn out well, focus had drifted through the night (3-25-12) and I had some pretty wicked banding on the image (from the DSLR). Imaged with the Meade 10" ACF scope @ F6.2 (with Optec Lepus FR for corrected optics). Canon XSi (Hap Griffin Modded) was used for the exposures. Guided by the Meade DSI-1 with the Explore Scientific 80mm APO. 24-10 minute exposures, 5 darks, 20 flats and bias frames. Calibrated and stacked in Images Plus 3.82a and processed in Photoshop CS3 by Mark Sibole (his expertise was needed to get the banding under control).
