Looks very nice, Joe. I wish I could get the same polar alignment with my Meade mount. I’ve been getting a lot of football-shaped stars with the bigger scope. More learning curve…I hate that. Here’s a quick 10-minute exposure I did through the 81mm refractor this morning of Comet C/2014 E2. Three satellites came through in that 10-minute exposure. No dark subtraction, obviously. https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/15117627862/ Dave On Sep 2, 2014, at 0:12, Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Here's a view I took of the fascinating galaxy, NGC 6951, Monday morning from Lakeside, Tooele County. It's a barred spiral with crazy arms, a Seyfrut galaxy located about 75 million light-years away in Cepheus. The grayish material in the background is called the "integrated flux nebula" in our Milky Way Galaxy. Total exposure was in the order of three hours, but I haven't added up the subexposures. -- Joe
