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.
