SM40 FD mid morning 15/04/21

Post by DJD »

Dear All,
Got a half hour session this morning with the SM40 on an 80mm F/6 + PGR G3.
Alt-az and used drift to get rid of the Newton Rings.
The proms were hard to capture. Best I could manage.
30 frames stacked from a 300 SER.
Best viewed full size ( Right click and "view image" )
Best wishes,
David
