Finally got my tracking mount working. This is now mounted on the ultra cheap surveying tripod. I am still getting to grips with DSS and so this is by no way the best of the pictures I took at 2am this morning (oh my aching head!)

This one stacked from 10 x 4 minute shots using a Tamron Twin-Tele 135mm manual focus lens at f4 and ISO 400 on my Canon 5D Mk1 full frame classic.

Spot the double star!

Other attempts at stacking in my album. Boy, still got a lot to learn :)

Very nice Martyn, Only probe i can see you having is the lack of flatness at the edges, but still a great attempt... looking forward to more

Hi Keiran, thanks for the encouragement :)

I have put some more in my album. Just not getting the results I am expecting though. Don't know if it's my original pictures, or my DSS processing, but can't seem to get anywhere near what other people seem to be able to get.

I suspect I am using too long exposures/too high ISO, but don't know for sure :)

Setting seem fine to me, you could even up the ISO to 800... I think it is probably all down to processing, but this one seems brilliant to me

Yeah, I wasn't sure what settings to use, too chuffed to actually have a working mount to actually care :) At least it has a hint of colour about it.
