Hello all,
First image from my new setup.
Messier Object 13, 1x60sec, 1000iso, Olympus E-400.
Rather lame, I need better imaging equipment.
Thinking a dSLR with LiveView and possibly a focal reducer.
The Olympus E-400 I have doesn't cut it, for starters it is soooo noisy, even with noise reduction (NR) on it creates a dullish red background and also Olympus seems to use the NR-filter to createa second copy of the exposure to eliminate the bad guys in the original, this takes the same time as the original exposure to process, so a 40 sec exposure takes another 40 seconds to process, altogether wasting 80 seconds (1 minute, 20 seconds).
It won't expose past 1 minute on BULB and thats above an ISO of 400....so no good for a slow scope.
The image is out of focus......I had to manually star-hop to find M13, the viewfinder scope attached tot he C8 is rubbish, think I shall invest in a RDFinder.

a few things to listen to...........meteor showers, cmbr, radio 2 etc etc.

Hmm, just I have EQ'd my dob and am wanting to motorise it, just wondering what options are available and which motors will be strong enough to turn the round mounting board its sat on.

What kind of motor is on the base unit? i.e. what type is moving it in a horizontal fashion?
Does it track ?
