Smithysteve Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Fabulous image Steven, your auto guiding is spot on! What's your opinion on your guide scope camera QHY5-ii - I am still thinking about getting one of these... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks guys I really like it Stephen, its great for the money even with just a 50mm Finder Scope it always finds plenty of stars to guide on.. I spent a while on the levelling and polar aligning to try and make it as smooth as possible and for once it seems the extra time paid off.. I was going to try for longer subs but it was just too washed out as I was taking these at about 9.30 and it was completely dark yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Steven, I must get round to getting one these, I've put it off long enough... I have been polar aligning mine and it's almost there, but there's always something to look at! I have been tracking stars on the southern and eastern directions along the ecliptic for hours, slowly tweaking the wedge etc. I will get there! Cheers!

Werisit Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Very nice Steven. And I think the galaxy is NGC6207. I love 2 for the price of 1 images! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
