NGC 7023 – Iris nebula
After the Bode galaxies shots I programmed the software and took 175 pictures of the Iris Nebula. This ran until about 4:30 am. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.
M81/M82 – Bode & Cigar Galaxy

Nikkor 300f/4 and 500f/5.6
My lenses arrived today. A short test at the beach was very promising. All pictures were taken with the D500. Screenshots from Lightroom. Only exposure adjusted and developed with automatic adjustment. [singlepic id=6391 w=800 h=600 float=center] Completely developed crop using the Nikkor 500.
