Description

By chance the SRO crew and I imaged the same object.

My light polluted image (left, 291x100s=29,100s) and the SRO pristine sky (right, 51x900s=45,900s).

I'll take the clear sky...

The exposures may actually be somewhat equivalent since the left is a Takahashi 180ED at F2.8 while the right is a Takahashi 106 ED is about F5.0 I believe. I believe the camera's have the same chip (KAF-8300 CCD).

PS Notice the difference in the star spikes with the two scopes.
