Description

One of the richest sections of the Milky Way includes the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae, The Sagittarius star cloud and the small region of emission and reflection nebulosity, IC 1284.

Taking this sort of wide-field image is now something I can do on my second, light-wight setup.

Whilst I was playing around with the new camera on the big scope I set this up to run unguided.

It's a total of 40 x 90s exposures with an astro-modded K-5iis DSLR attached to a Samyang 135mm f2 ED UMC lens.

Used my 35 year-old Vixen SP mount!
