Deep Sky Imaging Session - April 9-10, 2016

The sky in the evening was almost perfectly clear and I was able to image NGC 5139 Omega Centauri and M17 Eagle Nebula using Canon EOS 1000D (M) with Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS L lens set at 400mm f/5.6 on Kenko SKy Memo-R star tracker. Aside from imaging session, the Astronomical League Of The Philippines, Inc. (ALP) hosted its annual Philippine Messier Marathon Open 2016 as part of its celebration of Global Astronomy Month. More than 70+ participants which includes special participation of ALP, Manila Street Astronomers, Guild for Astronomy Innovation & Advancement, UP AstroSoc & UPLB AstroSoc.
