so i managed to take my telescope out tonight as the skies were reasonably clear. I have to say, I'm fairly disappointed. I connected my Canon 550d and snapped a few shots. I am using a heq5 pro mount. most stars were ok, albeit out of focus. I struggled to get focus on the brighter stars as when i turned the focus wheel the stars turned a bright purple? even my shot of Jupiter had a purple glare around it?
it is a bresser ar152L
any advice?
thanks

Hi everyone.
i just got a Bresser 152L 1200. Wondering what mount I would need for imaging. I’ve seen a few heq5. Wondering if that would be heavy enough for the scope.
I have an eq5 pro but I don’t know if that is pushing it.

Good evening everyone
following my recent post about my dobsonian, someone has offered to swap me for a Bresser 152L 1200.
Does any one have any experience with these? Visual and imaging?
thanks!

They will to a certain extent but I don't know if they're accurate enough for long-term exposures for DSOs. They're certainly not marketed as such.
What do you consider a long term exposure?

Thanks for the replies everyone.
so those platforms, do they prevent star trailing ? For up to one hour? If I’m reading correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen those. It’s just, I want to capture the planets. I’m unsure if it’s even doable tbf

I have a 12” dob. Wondering if there is any goto kits available or DIYs?
or if anyone builds them?
thanks

As everyone else has stated it certainly looks like and ED80. Does it say anything on the lens?
Edit - I have just found a Sky at Night review of the ED80 and yours is the same. Just an older version.
Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED Pro review - Telescopes - Reviews - BBC Sky at Night Magazine
So it’s the same spec ?

Thanks everyone. So it’s the same except for the logo on the side?

Can you post a picture of the label?
There is only a small one that says 600mm and 80mm

How do I know if my mount has backlash?
the gears are moving nicely. Just I’ve had problems with tracking so want to pinpoint it. The video I’ve attached is the mount tracking a random object at 0.5x. -

Ive tried those settings with no luck

If I reduce the calibration step, it doesn’t notice any movement and as such will do about 50 steps in each direction.
ive been told it should be done in around 5 steps?

That's a good image, if you separate out the stars with StarNet ++ from the nebulosity so that you can work on each layer (Stars only or Starless) you can pull much more out of that.
You can download StarNet ++ here: https://www.starnetastro.com/download/
What does that do exactly? Never heard of it lol

Hello
took some images tonight of messier 1. Came to photometric colour calibration in siril and when I type in the object and press find nothing happens? Each time the cursor spins but nothing ?
could this be an issue with the online star database?
or is it just my pc? I uninstalled, checked firewall permissions etc. nothing.

A 130PDS for £60 is amazing! What mount did you use for this image?
Eq5 pro

I have an asi183 so binning is beneficial? Due to oversampling
Purple stars?

Are there any filters that can reduce it?
