Hi all,
I thought I would share a couple of images from this weekend. Shot at the Los Angles Astronomical Society star site in Lockwood Valley, California.
Taken with my WO 80mm APO, G-11 Mount, guided.
First the Horsehead and Flame in Orion.
L = 38 x 120 sec
R = 10 x 120 sec
G = 11 x 120 sec
B = 12 x 120 sec

Next is the Double Cluster in Perseus.
L = 31 x 120 sec
R = 10 x 120 sec
G = 10 x 120 sec
B = 10 x 120 sec

Had a pretty good time, but weather was bad some of the time, with dew, frost and drizzle during the night. So I was happy to have gotten two pictures. grin

Very dramatic Floyd. Did you flip the image left to right? In my refractor images of the same region, the horse looks to the left.
