+Bino-viewer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I was up at Belper for a quick session on Monday night and took the Dob and my new Fornax mount with me, to have a go at setting up and (trying) to get it Polar aligned. This was a 10 second single frame sub, 24mm F4, iso 2000 with my Sony A7.

Daz Type-R Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 WOW - the LP does not look that bad when I`m up there, remarkable what a 10 second sub pulls out. Nice capture of Orion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nothing you can't process out. Cool capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That is amazing for just 10 seconds Rob I reckon you are down to 8th magnitude and showing clusters M41 and M47, NGC2264 and 2232 if you look closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Thankyou. My polar alignement was so so i think. I'm sure with practise it can be improved. I need to get an illuminated reticule to go with the polarscope as i had a job seeing the Polaris circle at all. Thats probably down to my eyes a bit..... It was a treat to be at Belper on Monday, even if i was Billy no mates Had a really good session with the Dob / 31 Nagler once the camera was set up. Also i must mention two of my more recent purchases that really have made a difference to my observing. My Adjustable 'musicians stool' , and my Blazewear heated insoles. I'm so pleased with both of them Edited March 9, 2016 by Bino-viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
