Hello everyone, Last Sunday night, I did my first shots with the Hyperstar and the C14, using a Baader modified 450D/XSi camera. Those are just preliminary tries to see how much data could be collected in a certain amount of time. I hope to share better pictures with you in the future For Omega Centauri : 40x25 seconds @ 400 ISO, 30 darks, 100 offsets/bias, no flat. For M8 : 30x30 seconds @ 400 ISO, 30 darks, 100 offsets/bias, no flat. No guiding or filter either. Thank you for passing by
