The Quickest Image I'll ever take - M53 was created by DaveGrennan
Managed to get a few quick subs between the clouds tonight.

15 x 30 seconds on M53 with the 80EDII and ATIK16HR.

Far from the deepest image, but I do think it is pretty sitting there in that starfield. Incidentally the stars in this image go way beyond mag 15 which is decent enough for 30 sec subs.

Regards and Clear Skies,

Fine image Dave, especially for 30secs exps.

Incidentally the stars in this image go way beyond mag 15 which is decent enough for 30 sec subs.

That's a superb image! As has already been said, it captures the character of globular clusters perfectly!
