thnk u :)

This was done using a webcam type video camera, it goes directly into the telescope.

It takes a video of the planet and the best frames stacked together to bring out detail.

in this case a 3x barlow was used (between the cam and scope) to make the image bigger..

Amazing. Can you see this through your telescope, if so how?

You wouldn't see this amount of colour or detail without a camera, but the brightest area of the nebula along with the central stars can be viewed through a scope, and as usual the bigger the aperture the better it will pick up the fainter objects.

i love the picture with the star , nebula ,flame absolutly amazing were would u find this in the night sky may i ask ? yea im new lol 

 

all great pictures i hope one day i can do this 

Sorry only just realised the question was here - that bright star is the first on the left of the 3 in Orion's belt - called Alnitak.  thnx for the comments btw :)

Yeah, I think the smaller galaxy even has a name of its own in the NGC list. :)  

these are all excellent images, hugely impressed :o :)

Nice round stars, :) - can i ask if your stacking lights or or using calibration frames?

Annnd another image to look back on and realise how bad it is. At first these bright large objects looked to be easy targets but since discovered they are much less forgiving of small errors in tracking and processing.

Nicely souped up DIY finish, looks great. :)

Wow!!

Wow, razor sharp.

:)

Unfortunately, from my position it's tree or nothing with Saturn which is why I don't do it often. Must get a portable power supply.

The stars look nice and solid, I'm not positive but the small thin trails look like a vibration or wind rather than tracking . . . ?

Its definitely worth another shot. Got lots of colour there in the nebula, after a couple frames get stacked you'll notice much more.

:)

Andromeda - the fuzzy patch in lower left.

Nice!

I love seeing jupiter done with a dslr.

Cracking shot. What were your settings?

Thnx. :)

I'll find the avi file and check and get back to you.

See what u mean.. Some nice clear images. Nice1. :)

Looks like thats a busy sky - hard to take astro pics these days without something flying past.

Yeah i've heard folks say the same thing, but this is just captured and processed for the planet only - the moons stayed there anyway, no need for any extra work.

Very likely.

Nowhere near a dark site unfortunately, plus three streetlights blazing a few feet away......

Fab images - Nice detail

Agreed! The image looks so 3 dimensional, you can SEE the rim climb up the crater's edge. :)

Very nice.

I don't think so. Iapetus is a moon of Saturn isn't it?

Yes, Lapetus is Saturn, the moon in the picture is one of the 4 usual ones, no idea which one though.

is that how you see it ? or did you add the blue

In the EP this looks like slightly hazy but relatively normal bright stars, the blue haze is nebulosity that mainly gets captured in photos. The blue colour is slightly exagerated but will show up in all pictures to some extent.

Very nice.:)

A great shot. Funny to think I had a scope aimed at this object at the same time, same purpose in mind. :) My frames came out nowhere near this good, though. Well captured. :)
