Description

I am continually amazed by the results from my new colour CMOS camera, the Moravian C3 26000C. Imaged over 3 nights with M83 in the same quadrant as the moon, with the moon 4 days, 2 days and 1 day before full. Whilst the image may have been better without moonlight I am more than happy with this result. If I ever get clear skies AND no Moon I will try it out for comparison! Details:
1st May 50 subs @ 450s, moon 80%
3rd May 65 subs @ 450s, moon 92%
4th May 60 subs @ 450s, moon 98%
