The Red Patch In the Southern Milky Way:- Carina Nebula

The Red Patch In the Southern Milky Way:- Carina Nebula
The night did not go well could not line up the tracker nearly gave up and came home after 3/4 hour just trying to set on the Octanes which I just could not see at all. I gave up in disgust but tried the unit out no matter what very happy the way the unit works. I can see this being much better tracked properly and stacking 30 shot First shots. Single shot 30 sec Iso 6400 @200MM

I guess its always best to never give in turn back to my old skill which I did here.

Looks like you nailed it to me Steve. You call this a failure. When you get this all perfect, it must be quite sonething else. No way we could get this clarity with normal 200mm without movement. A wobderful first attept here which I can see as the first of many. Very well done.
Cheers, Herb

Thank you Herb but it did not sit well last night after all the practice, in the end I turned back to my Milky way photos to get this. you are right this blew me away and the LMC shot next door came out stunning I cant wait for next weekend. the gear worked and it was only my first time in the dark which is never easy as you know with new gear and ideas.

I hope a lot more detail from a larger numbers of stacked images. The end i am still very happy with this shot though.

Hi Steve,

Like Herb says, this is a great success. We are so used to seeing pictures through telescopes like the Hubble that we forget that here we have a large set of pictures taken through a camera lens, similar (although probably better quality!) to what we all have, and cleverly combined together. I am very impressed!

Best wishes
Peter

The more shot combined the better but that also requires better set up to track better. Its a very shaky beginning. Many thanks for the encouragement to do better.

Thank you Toz for the encouragement very much learning and trying to perfect a methodolagie to get the photos. only been out twice with it. not helped by a non working correctly remote ( broken wire so is only working intermittently). It is a lot of fun and I can use a number of lens 50mm 105mm 70-200mm & I have tried my 150-600.

Steve Paxton club has replied to Ko Hummel club
I hope to Ko I am going to take out a laser pointer to make the 4 stars stand out even if I cant 100% see them I can line the tracker up better. I will be a little disappointed if this is as good as I am going to get as I did want better quality than this. while I have taken again this single shot still is the best so I have not added a newer version.
