M45, Pleiades, with a dobsonian on AZ mount
theodoros1978 replied to theodoros1978's topic in Imaging - Deep Sky
Diffraction spikes are not added by me but from the telescope itself! The 10" dob has a spider vaine at top that holds secondary mirror - so it is shown on picture. -
Hey folks, this is an attempt to image m45 and get the nebulosity of the "seven sisters". 20subs * 30sec on ISO 1600. enjoy, please free to comment and collaborate. theo

I use my 250px Dob in goto AZ base and take acceptable pictures up to 45secs. You can see some AP with 250px on my Flickr account /lovemydob The skywatcher dobs are great series for many uses

Never had the chance to meet Kev or exchange PM's. My condolences to family and friends. Rest in Peace Kev. -

Hi, took 5 subs of 30sec (ISO 3200, ISO 6400) 20sec (ISO 6400) 15sec (ISO 6400) 10sec (ISO 6400) on M104, stacked with nebulosity. I am pleased with result as all my subs came with minor star drift and actually shoed up the galaxy (for such short exposures and subs) enjoy, feel free to tweak as am not good at all.

welcome to sgl, spectacular capture! well done!

What gear you have? I upgraded my manual Dob to goto with the skywatcher's kit, all from factory. However, every time before imaging, I check the level of base with ground using bubble level. I do alignment with stars opposite to each other, never use star on zenith. Finally, I use the build in PAE function a lot. On 30sec subs, at the end of night 80% will be usable 45sec, 65% 90sec, 40% Bear in mind that sometimes its not only the field rotation that causes trails but the motors vibration inside as well. Finally, I use a bahtinov mask (self made) to perfectly focus. Thank you for comments

M51 with AZ Dob 5 stacks 30 - 75 secs ISO 3200 Pentax K-X Stack with nebulosity ps: don't forget, DOB's can image

Hi Chris, today i made a 15m straight cable (Cat5e) and works fine with synscan AZ hand controller. No delay, no voltage problems. It works as fast as a short cable used. regards.
