Got a brief peek at the moonless sky last night. Back to rain again today, but had to take advantage of the clearing and try something. It's always tempting (greed maybe?) to become a photon hoarder when we get some clearing like this. I had to resist the temptation to try multiple objects and just stick with one thing for the evening. Ok, I did try a shot at the ISS pass earlier, but like most times, my exposures weren't right and I just got some smeared view of solar panels.
I stuck with one thing and took 15 images at about 5 minutes each of NGC891. This little guy is 30 million light years away...just some trivia to make your brain go "ping!". ISO settings were mostly 800 ISO and I took a few at 1600 and mixed them in there. Scope was the 12" LX200 at f/6.3 with the Canon 350D. Click image for a full size view.
