12. Moon & Jupiter 5th September 2023 (morning)

    Just a few photos from the early hours of the 5th. I've tried all I can to improve the focus (manually) of the LX10 but it would appear it does need collimating even though, when I look at the 'donut' (I'm probably not doing it right or being critical enough) it looks good.

14. Learning curve with CG5-GT + modded DSLR

    All my gear is stupidly old and tired, mostly on its last leg, second hand and cheap. But I really enjoy trying to get something out of this pile of junk.

19. Next Attempts at DSO's

    I have been imaging using my SkyWatcher Startravel 102mm refractor on a Go-To Synscan alt-az mount and Canon 600D DSLR since just before Christmas 2015. Having since read, "Astrophotography on the Go" by Joseph Ashley I have been inspired to use longer exposures, typically 30 seconds at ISO 1600 and to take more images per object (up to 200 light frames) weather permitting. I use Deep Sky Stacker to collate frames and subsequently process the master image using StarTools. I hope this album of images shows improvement upon my earlier attempts.
    Since April 2017 I have been using a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer (SA) mount on an old Celestron heavy duty tripod to image DSO's with my Canon DSLR. At Christmas 2017 I received a modified Canon 700D DSLR and an Astronomik clip-in Ha 12nm filter to complement my UHC filter. I am continually impressed by the accuracy of the little SA mount.
    In January of 2018 I began using my old CG-5 Go-To mount to take images and later swapped the original Celestron polar scope for an modern SkyWatcher type which has made polar alignment faster and more accurate.
