+Graham Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well I could not believe it when the skies cleared tonight for the first time for weeks. It was just too good to miss. I set up my Samsung video camera in the 120mm Helios Refractor for the first time since I bought it ages ago. I decided to revisit an old friend in M 81 and M82. The photos below are both 5000 frame unguided AVI's put through Registax 5. No other processing involved. Hope you like. Well the dawn chorus has now started so I had better go to bed. Thanks Graham.

+Graham Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks folks for the kind words. Darren I just sat in front of the monitor and kept nudging the 'West' and 'North' buttons on the Eqmod control panel. 4 nudges West to 1nudge North every 3 seconds or so. Cannot believe how bad the photos look on here though, very grainy and pixulated. They look a lot better in the 'TIF' versions. Todays task is to get the guiding up and working for tonight.
