it was taken with the 350d m42 mount to a 8" 1000mm f5 reflector . this is all mounted to a eq5 mount pola alligned motors set for tracking duration 290sec and a 50sec for the sentrol part the two images where added together on photoshop using lauer mask technic.

I'm glad you know what you're talking about! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :thinking: :thinking: :shrug:
 
does sound a bit puzzling:thinking:
1.a eq 5 mount is a tripod with motors to track the subject to keep it sentrol this is done because of the earths rotation.
2. the exposure time is long as the gas cloud is seen pest on long exposure so you see more whisps.
3. dowm side to long exposure is the the brightest part get blown out so a short exposure time on this part is needed to keep the detail.
:thinking: :thinking: :D :ty:
 
Beautiful shot, astromomy is one of my other fav hobbies, though not always the best place for it the UK, too much cloud cover, that's what's stopped me upgrading my meade scope to something larger.
Thanks for sharing.(y)
