More Astrophotography at my campsite by Ajo
February 13, 2016

This one needs some more work, there is too much light pollution to my north.
Pinwheel Galaxy, 21 frames stacked, 30 second exposures, 500mm.

Far and away my best shot of the Orion Nebula. I can take exposures up to two minutes with the
Astro Track at 500mm with no star trailing whatsoever, which is pretty amazing. This is two minutes at ISO 800, 500mm.
The very clear, dark sky made a lot of difference too. Might as well go back and delete all the older ones.

Horsehead Nebula. What I said above applies here too.

Pleiades. Same comments here too.
