Small Magallenic cloud

Small Magallenic cloud
This will have to be revisited as it looks very interesting once I can find the right star to track with. I must have been very close at 60 sec not much trailing as the others. the night was ruined by the remote that had a mind of its own I believe a broken wire.

PIP an up to date look at this cloud.

it certainly is not as easy to get right as taking a milky way bow. tonight i am going to try a real image with all the extra files to see just how much better 30 photos stacked is. my fellow night shooter would like one as well so the tacker will get a lot of use tonight.

Hi Steve

Very nice picture, and certainly better than anything I could get in our light polluted skies here, (or with my inferior skill...)
I am impressed as ever!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

So far each night has gone well learnt some thing new each time and when you consider this is only night three for me. I am getting there while the result was OK not totally happy where a 14mm is forgiving 200mm is certainly not. The best part it keeps the grey matter ticking over .

Hope you weekend is a good one mine started at 2:30 am with a camera full of shots.

very nice Steve, also getting the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104). A way to get the tracking errors down is taking more exposures with f.i. 15 sec. and combine them.
