Hi,

I shot M37 a couple nights back through holes in the clouds.
This was something of a FOV test with My St10 at prime focus of the Vixen VC200L smile
It fit but close!


20x120s Luminance 10x180s RGB
St10xme
VC200L at F9

Thanks for taking a look,

Jason

Nice one Jason. Nice job with the color. It is sometimes problematic for me doing color through holes in the clouds. I have a pretty manual set up and I shoot all the L's R's, G's, and B's in sequence. If there is a transparance difference between say all my Red and all my Blue exposures, I can have trouble with the color. I presume with your ST10 you are shooting L,R,G,B intermixed.
