Feb-Mar 2003

Notizen: This image of M65/M66 is from February 9 2003. I have a better version of M65 with my old MX512 camera, but it is nice to have both in one picture. Star colours look a bit funky which is probably the result of too long colour exposures where the sky background was only about 4000 counts from saturating the chip (and leaving little dynamic range for stars etc). Taken from the middle of Berlin with an 8" LX200 at f/4, MX716 camera, video autoguider, 12x10 minutes for luminance (Astronomik CLS filter), 10 minutes each at 2x binning for colours.
