[LVAS] Cone Nebula - Late Submission

[Fred Rayworth]

Frank Barrett took an outstanding image of the Cone and the Christmas Tree Cluster. We didnt' get it in time for the challenge, but here it is.

On Feb 19, 2010, Frank took this photo of the Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster from his observatory in Gastonia, NC. He used a Meade 10” LX200R, with a 2800mm focal length, at f/11. The exposure 40 minutes using an SBIG STL-11000M camera. His mount is a Losmandy G11 with an Ovision worm upgrade.

 

I have also posted this on the Club Forum.
