Deep Sky Objects

Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand

12th & 13th May 2013

These images were taken while working with Fraser Gunn, a NZ photographer with a keen interest in astrophotography working at Lake Tekapo. The images were taken using my Canon 5D Mark III body, added to Fraser's Takahashi FSQ85 refractor telescope and Takahashi NJP mount, using a guided system. Fraser offers this opportunity from his astrophotography website

NOTE: At this time the images are unprocessed, unstacked single frame captures (adjusted only in Lightroom) for partial testing of some website features while I learn the processing process for astrophotography.
