Images from Namibia with short exposures.


 I had brought my new ASI071MC Pro cooled camera to take photos with, but I also brought an ASI178MC uncooled camera. Mostly to take photos of Jupiter, but I also wanted to try it out on deep sky. And I did dedicate one entire night for just deep sky photography with this camera using short exposures. And the images came out quite good. So maybe I will use the camera more on another occasion. All the images are through a Williams Optics 98FLT with a WO AFR-VI reducer-flattener. ASI178MC camera. All images about 1 hour total exposure. Stacked with DSS, processed in Gimp.
