| Doughton Park | Prime focus | f/4 |
| 800mm | 16x | Motor drive and manual guiding |
| Canon Digital Rebel | 400 ISO | 44 minutes 47 seconds |
| 14 pictures (13x185s + 282s) stacked, aligned and processed with Photoshop. Unfortunately the galaxy M110 is not on the picture but starts to appear on the bottom of the picture. The air was very cold, below freezing, so there is no noise on the pictures. The problem is that there was gusts of wind, the telescope was shaking and the stars are not dots. |
