Perkil8r Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A bit of moon....... Meade LX200R 16" and Orion starshoot. Seeing was awful and this is the first time trying any of it at work. Focus could be a touch better but not a lot in the conditions. philjay and +Ibbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's still a very detailed photo Mike. It's good to see the shape of the mountains by looking at the shadow it casts. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 In all seriousness though Mike in good conditions that set up is going to be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks folks. It is a start but the camera will be upgraded sooner rather than later, the collimation will also be tweaked further as I am sure it is still a bit off. We're making progress though and now it's drift aligned and we had it guiding I'm sure we can start to do some serious imaging soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice work if you can get it Great stuff Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looking good Mike. With all imaging the kit is just half the story, conditions and learning the kit is the rest. Folks think lunar is easy cos its big and bright, it aint, it takes just as much work as DSO sometimes. That will be stonking on a steady night, if ever we get one, the Jetstream seems to be over us permanently these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
