Popular Post Brady Posted January 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2016 A few shots from a cold night in the yard, trying out all sorts of stuff with the new gear, need more cables and connectors and tie wraps and....... 15x1min subs before it passed the house... 1st shot at the Pinwheel for me, need to work on that one.. I thought this was always out of bounds for me but very pleased with it as a first, only 4x6min subs And finally a 10 min sub of Catalina who will be shortly on her way out, wouldn't of forgave myself if i missed her, i took this just to see which way she was going Tweedledee, Daz Type-R, +Bino-viewer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looking very nice Brady. A very productive night... I couldn't muster the energy. What camera and scope was it? Amazing how far the comet moves in 10 minutes eh? Had a look my self the other night in bins... must get out imaging again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Alright Steve, been a while bud...yeah the scope is the same 200p but i had the camera modded and also forked out for a cls clip which is working wonders, just getting my head around the new mount and eqmod, its like losing an arm with no handset but i can see why people do it, its so much better..

+Graham Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 For the short time on the exposures that is a pretty amazing set of images you have there. You must be well pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Looking good Wayne, M42 looks lovely, like a kid in a sweetshop and all good. I reckon when you get some decent clear sky and time on one object it will be stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nice shots Wayne, considering the cold, new equipment and disappearing from view objects! Love the horsehead, IC434's red glow shows it off lovely. And the bright nebula NGC 2023 to the left shows well, I was looking at this the other night, along with HD 38087, fainter, a bit to the SW in your picture, but could not see the horse! One day...? There are lots to see in this area ? The pinwheel shows lots of detail... There are a few NGC numbers in there too... An interesting capture of Catalina and lots of detail in the wispy M42. very enjoyable to study these Wayne, cheers! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks guys, much appreciated, Stephen it's that time of year that when it gets dark and i dodge the plum tree i have around an hour before orion and the horse move around the house so i dont get long, after setting up that narrows down even more, the obsy should combat that the next time around and i may accidentally chop that tree down, i do need to work out photoshop or whatever processing program im going to go with though, there are that many and people use all of them across the board even multiple ones so it's hard to single out which would be suitable for me, but thats for a rainy night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) some cracking shots, m42 and the horse head nebula are a couple of my favourites, if this is your starting point into astro photography i can see you coming up with some stunning images in the future, congrats. isn`t eqmod the best, i havent used my handset for years.

Brady Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Im just getting to grips with it still Rob but it's definitely a lot better than the handset, because im using it with Stellarium the only gripe i have is the Ctrl 1 action in Stellarium to slew to a target is very annoying as i can control everything else with a mouse/gamepad, although Chris has informed me that i may be able to use windows on screen keyboard to action this....the reason behind all this is when setting up i am outside with the gear while the laptop is inside behind a conservatory window, a wireless mouse/gamepad works fine through the window....my hands for ctrl 1 do not however there is a script on another site as well that may combat this...other than that it's Cartes du Ceil trials.... and thanks for the encouragement guys it really does keep you going Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
