Default ASTRO: M65/M66

M 65 and M66 _just_ fit into the field of view of my C8 at f/6.3 and my
SXV-H9 camera, so I thought they were a good target before I get my 10" ARC
back, as they won't fit the FOV with that scope any more.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with a C8 at f/6.3 on a G11 mount, SXV-H9
camera, 39x5 minutes.
Colour will have to wait till tomorrow.

Stefan

Looks good. Waiting for color.

This reminds me. Back in May you posted a shot of these with a 6"
Newtonian. What happened to that?

That is a fine image Stefan... Marvelous detail and great looking stars. I
have to get these two myself... but no good conditions so far this year.

Stefan, yep you can forget these two in one field with the 10"...
I like this one, good details in both the galaxies.
