This image was acquired with a 200 mm lens, based on a stack of 19 individual images each of which was 15 seconds in duration. The lens was operated at f/8, so each frame was pretty dark, but the total integration time was 4 minutes 45 seconds. Then I cropped off the less interesting areas to arrive at this final image. Several different groups are highlights, and can be seen using the links at right: Messier objects, Markarian's Chain, the galaxies of the Herschel 400i list, and finally the galaxies of the Herschel 400ii list. The cropped picture is at the scale of a full frame image at 240 mm focal length. |
