M45 - 1000mm fl
Date: 1-26-2002
Location: Seven Sisters Observatory
Equipment: 83mm f6 refractor, G11, ST4, Canon F1, 2X extender, TT III
Conditions: Very Bright Full Moon - Wispy Clouds
Film: Kodak PJ 400 Unhypered
Exposure: 10 minutes
Comments: This shot shows the full frame of the 35mm exposure at 1000mm fl. I used a Canon 2X telextender to double the FL of the scope. I started to notice some blue halo's around the bright stars at this focal length and the frame was very vignetted by the extender. Still - this can be a valuable tool to get a larger image scale on some shots.
