An attempt to image the Whirlpool galaxy through the
wide field Wright Newtonian astrograph. The image is a very large
field of view and the galaxy is rather small on the image. Blowing
up the image and cropping it down produces a much lower resolution but
it was fun to image! - ISO 800 - F3.8 - 8 minute exposures (x 5); 40 minutes total - Direct images through the 5" Wright Newtonian Astrograph - Piggyback on the C-14 - Manually guided - Location: TDS 12.30.2008 |
