M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula
Lights 26 x 60s f/11 ISO 3200! :P
Darks 50
Bias 110
Don't know what i was thinking, but i wanted to challenge myself. In retrospect that was stupid!
I recently bought a used VMC95L with the goal of using it for guide scope. Well since the auto-guider has still !!! not arrived, i decided to see what this thing could do.
Well as you can imagine, f/11 is pretty dark, for even the brightest DSO. It's pretty much useful for only moon/planetary work.
My polar alignment was not so great, the scope looks to be out of alignment too, and also my 12v battery pack was dying. All in all a pretty lazy effort. But this was nothing serious.
