Astrocookie Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Just finished my first real full blooded imaging session. Packing away and everything is a bit clammy. What's the best procedure for packing up? Do I allow the dew to evaporate back inside the house before packing into boxes and cases? Just wondering what other people do :-) Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Natural drying overnight, pack away in the morning as you said. Look forward to the photo's Paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 i do same as above, if you start putting caps on everything the moister gets trapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrocookie Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Cheers guys. Once works out of the way I'll be processing my data from last night. Got a bit emotional when I saw the first sub. The countless hours building my system may not be in vain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 "Got a bit emotional when I saw the first sub.The countless hours building my system may not be in vain...." Which object were you imaging Paul? It sounds like you were feeling a great sense of achievement and relief that it all works - which can be quite touching.... Now I can't wait to see the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i know that feeling Paul, after spending silly amounts of money just to get a nice picture seems silly until you get your first decent sub in then you smile like a little kid at the amazing result an i makes it all worth while. trouble is then you start wanting better and better equipment L.O.L.

+RonC Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Tell me about it Rob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrocookie Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 It was a straight forward target M42. When I saw the first sub on my DSLR I knew I was getting something better than the usual out of focus, poorly tracked or out of frame garbage I normally end up with. All the kit played ball and I danced around the garden while the automated capture did its thing. I've just posted the image in Imaging/DSO's M42 (9/12/13) Critique greatly appreciated.
