Camera

Canon 20Da

Date 3 November 2005
Description You can see a bit of nebulosity around the stars. We can count 6 stars with our naked eye, seven stars when we are in the Adirondacks at a dark sky site, but the camera sees much more than the human eye.
Processing Taken from our driveway, unguided, through a Canon 70-200 f/4.0L lens zoomed to 200mm. The Camera was piggybacked on a Tele Vue 85 mounted on the Losmandy G11 mount. It is a combination of 3 pictures of 3 1/2 minutes each. The individual images were aligned, combined, and contrast enhanced in Images Plus.
