First go at some widefield shots from the back garden -
3rd February 2012, 07:34 PM
First go at some widefield imaging using my sony alpha & an EQ3-2 with a 70-300 zoom.
First shot - orion, one 60sec sub, 800ISO @70mm. Chuffed to see evidence of the flame nebula and M78 (just!) Second - starting to see nebulosity on M45 - a set of stacked 30s subs, ISO800 @ 300mm. Been mainly a visual observer up to now but this AP stuff could get addictive  .
Mounts: RA driven EQ3-2, Giro Mini EPs: 24mm Baader Hyperion, 7mm Celestron X-CEL LX, 10 & 25mm Plossls, 2x Barlow Camera: Sony Alpha + various lenses & tripods Bins: Meade 10x50 with tripod adaptor http://www.astrobin.com/users/GarethA/

Nice start Gareth... it is addictive and that's when it gets expensive...

Nice pics, thanks for posting. Taking images like this can privide hours of fun without a huge financial lay out. I like taking images and then looking at a star atlas to see what I have 'discovered'. Its amazing just what magnitude I can get down to (8 or 9) taking images from a relatively light poluted back garden with a standard lens.

Yes - thanks for the advice - I think I can learn a lot from doing some more camera/lens based imaging with my eq3-2 before I convince myself I have enough free time to justify buying a HEQ5.
