dawson Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Blimey, i like the M1 image. What camera was this with? Have you started guiding? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I should add i think the M42 is great too, i just love the contrast of M1 sitting alone in a starry background, it's a fascinating looking thing to me. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 How are you doing your flats? James (Sorry for so many questions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 42 looks good with a touch of coma , but I would expect that with the large chip of a DSLR tracking on M1 looks a bit off or was blown about a bit or knocked but as test shots you rig looks promising 10min subs on the horizon??? go for it Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not guiding yet but pleased with drift align setup! James, I put a clear/cloudy plastic cap over the lens and let it take 20 subs in a lit room, seems to work OK? Cheers Ron PS M42 was very low between a tree and the house!!

Guest foundaplanet Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Good stuff Ron.. Are they with the MN190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Yes Col. really testing the drift align I did on Tuesday night, seems OK. Not the best of images, but a Big Moon didn't help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Nice pics Ron. Did you use a barlow for M1? I tried it the other week and realised it was tiny in the frame. Not had chance to try again since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Looks promising Ron, you setup brings out the filaments in M1 nicely. M42 is none too shabby either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
