Barnards Loop

A shot 3 years in the taking, One I wanted to take on the Star Adventurer but never could Barnard's Loop. Polar alignment and Guiding where the two biggest problems.



This is a Wide field of the Orion area with a Nikon 50mm G F1.8 lens but will try again once I can get my parents Nikon 50mm D F1.8 lens with a manual aperture ring. This was taken over 5 night and dumped a lot of shot as the lens is so wide field the city light made it into the shot, in the end it was start after 9 pm finish 2am. Orion was corrected with 5min and 2 min shots.

For those in the Northern hemisphere will note that Orion is wrong this is Southern Rotation where it is called the pot as the stars look more like a Pot that Orion's belt and Sword. The PIP's will show you some of the main targets from this area.
