@MHaneferd Neat test! Remember that it's the total integration time that counts though. In principle your 100 x 120-second integration should be very similar to 200 x 60 seconds, or 40 x 300 seconds. -

An update So the court has issued a CCJ against Gareth and directed him to refund me plus court costs. I really don't want to do this but he has left me no choice, I emailed him one last time to avoid bailiff action but he's ignored that as well. I tried I really have. I know if he had got to installing my obs that it would have been a good job but he has blatantly just kept my deposit If he sees sense I will report back but from Monday its in the hands of county court bailiffs. -
+1 for the Nadira, but I agree they do need some padding, unless you carry your own with you. Co-incidentally, I was mid-way through making my own cushion earlier when I saw your superb upholstered effort. I think I have an 'Astro-essentials' to your 'Nagler': -
Okay.. the sky is a bit light and some clouds covering the ngc7000. Started to do stuff at 21:00. I tested out Gain100 with four different exposure times on the Andromeda (M31) 60sec: 120 sec: 180sec: 300sec with an UFO: From 60 to 120, I notice a differnce, but between the rest it is not that much. I have now set up 100 shots@120sec. So, I am quite exited for the result…..hopefully if the skys cleared. I checked the Bortle map, and it seems that I am in a 8-9 😳 Might have to move up to my cabin. There it is measured «only» 4..

Hello, I am Dave from Cheltenham in the UK. I am new to the field of Astrophotography and whilst I have a decent set up (I think!!) I am not sure about some of the setting up so hoping you guys will be able to help me on that, there is only so much reading and watching you tube clips that one can do! Looking forward to getting involved on this forum and eventually showing you some of my images (fingers crossed!)· 0 replies

Hello world ........got tired of looking through my 15X70 binoculars so just got my first telescope to see the moon much better. Was disappointed when trying to see Jupiter and Saturn when they converged a few months back so just got my telescope last night and will set it up tonight. Seems I've got to download some things first then see if I can align it with the finder. Anyway, Ive got tons of things to learn and acquaint myself with along with asking one or two dumb things at 72 yrs of age so bare with while I read some stuff here.· 0 replies

After an intensive week of gardening we had Sunday at leisure. Carried out a partial water change , filter backwash and general clean up of our tropical fish tank. Then I took apart a pair of misaligned zoom binoculars from circa 1980's. An absolute treasure-trove of eight lenses in lens- cells and four prisms plus some bits for a DIY focuser. This should come in handy astro-shed- spectrum project wise. Happy but tired old bloke now drinking a lager and anticipating dinner. It is very cloudy in Lowestoft, so not much change there!· 0 replies
