50ED Evoguide | EVEFF-V2 | Canon 1100d | ISO 1600 | Virtuoso V1 | 117 lights | 121 flats | 115 dark flats | 26 minutes 13 seconds | predominantly 15 seconds

On zooming in you can see the cluster stars quite well, that's great.

The link is not to a 2" to 1.25" but to a T-2 mount

camera body (no lens) / t ring / t mount - inserted into the  telescope focuser

as you may not be using the diagonal you may need a 2" long extension tube to use instead of it

Before buying anything I would read up more on using a camera with your Evo 90mm

I'll just add it DSS doesn't recognise enough stars at ISO1600 but you can see them in the single images, once registered in DSS you can add the stats manually using the little control window on the image preview, I've done it when I want to ensure to maximise the stars used to stack with, the last time I did it it raised the stars from 8 to about 14.

Clusters and globulars would be great targets to try. East and West are the best directions and no higher than say 60° max for limiting field rotation. It's a gamble between the murk of being too low or the evidence of field rotation being too high. M44 has great star colours might be a good target as too the double cluster.

well done, what a capture from your setup you must be well chuffed to have caught that.

What is going to be your next target?

I have the same camera and find ISO1600 a reliable high ISO to use. On my camera ISO3200 can introduce troublesome noise,

well done, what a capture from your setup you must be well chuffed

This is a super steam train quite awesome

Well worth doing.

That's a lovely slice of milky way. Did you travel out of the city for that?

I love this. That's dedication to take those.

That's a dry base but presented a great opportunity for your image.

That came out alright. Take to the left if you can and stitch together to cover the entire arc.

That's a corker Steve. Great colours is like a scattering of Smarties.

Enjoyed reading your processing thread on this. 

the detail is particularily nice around 7-8 pm

You might get replies if you start a thread with a link to your image. I can't help with the question

This one came out nicely, the colours/detail I prefer on this image to the other one.

A fantastic project.

I have all these parts sat in a box waiting for me to motorise my barn door so it will be interesting to follow your experience with yours.
