There's something about the thought of a 250mm kaleidoscope that appeals to me. Of course the tube is but a part of it, it's the ancillaries that cost the real money.
And then there's imaging...
Let's see your 1st DSOs
in Imaging - Deep Sky
Posted · Edited by Andrew-77
This hot spell has yielded some nice clear skies over my garden so I thought I'd seize the opportunity and finally christen my camera.
Andromeda: 114 x 5 second subs at ISO 800 (Canon 600D). Stacked in DSS, no flats, no darks, and with the colour eventually removed because I don't really know what I'm doing.
Tracked but unguided, with minimal attempt at polar alignment, I only had an hour or so and didn't want to risk a load of trails (hence the silly amount of tiny subs). You can see the extent of the drift by the dark bands at the top and left edges.
There's a million things wrong with it but it is my first intentional DSO, and I wanted to join in.
