Images were taken with a self-modified Full Spectrum Canon 6D full frame camera.
I have a review of the Canon 6D model posted HERE.
Imaging scope used was a 12" Astro-Tech RC telescope using a new Orion HDX110 equatorial GoTo mount. A Youtube video of my Orion HDX110 field setup can be seen HERE.
The EQMOD ASCOM driver was used to drive the HDX110 mount directly via a USB2EQ5 Interface Cable.
Equipment used:
The Orion HDX110 mount was polar aligned using the mount's polar align scope. Sky Qlaity Meter readings during the five clear nights during this period ranged from 21.60 to 21.67.
