Description

Playing with Max exposure length  what better part  of the Southern sky than where the scope doesn't move.I settled on 8 seconds due to field rotation. With Sky Safari  max  out at Mag 18  i couldn't find the closest stars to the SCP. See that an-noted version   for  the faintest give at around Mag 14.Surprisingly there are not too many pictures  of this area  of the sky out there given  it's importance to EQ mounts.... The original was very noisy with a star trailesque ( See Revision C ) look which made it relatively simple to ID the SCP area. Cheers
