It's a shame there is no CHDK port for the G9x that could have got you started with time lapse, if it has a timer then could have a go with star trail image with your camera. Just need to trigger the shutter without vibration so delayed timer works for that.

I made a barn door works well and is manual though I used a 40mm lens with it.

To take long exposures you would need a tracking mount. With a static mount you would need to take several hundred 1-2 second exposure images and stack them. Plenty to learn and experiment with using a static mount and camera and lens you may already have. You don't have to use a modified camera, something you could research later.

That's great framing

I use the 1100D, when using for astro I've chosen to control the camera using an Android app DSLR Controller makes focus much easier using a mobile phone. During the day I use a intervalometer for timelapse. The 1100D screen is fixed, the 600D does have an articulated screen which is nice and useful. 

1100D daytime images are pleasing though for astro use it's quite noisy but there are different things that can minimise this.

I don't use the kit lens I picked up a pancake 40mm for the everyday lens.

Very nice Jupiter lots to look at

The third image and the spiral galaxy are particularly catching to look at, great set 

Might be a fun combination to try capturing many shorter exposures on bright small targets or galaxies. Give it a go say using sharpcap live stacking.

2.0.6 here too and also use the Pro version on an altaz as I like using the camera trigger time lapse function. Unfortunately I have not used it since the update and prior to the update I never experienced random slews or poor goto or dropping when switching between safari and synscan.

Looks promising as no obvious star shape issues from the cooler.

I'm interested in what has been used for the TEC semiconductor. Watching YT one even had a ios app mentioned where you could change the LED colours!!

Interesting idea and great write up. I see that you mean about colourful LEDs. I wonder what they use for the semiconductor material.

I'm encouraged to see these daytime shots, I like the 4th particularly

For connecting skysafari to synscan controlled mount I needed skysafari to use connect with wifi, I've run skysafari and synscan at the same time using a mobile Android

Particularly like the last one.

The bottom right legend is showing 0ms?

That's a super correction on those star shapes, quite amazing

The astronomy tools field of view calculator can be used to see how the Moon would fit on your DSLR. The FLT132 gives the best space around a full disk, the XT 10 is too tight, the 9.25 doesn't cover it.

It must be my mobile 

Looks like a comet with the green. Nice globular

Having a read I think the SCT sounds promising to try with (sorry I can't see what exactly it is) . Does your camera take videos as well as stills? A remote trigger release would be handy if not you could use a timer delay of your camera has that. 

Stills or video could be processed using registax or autostakkert then wavelet sharpening using registax

When using mobile view the signatures do not show hence the question

What telescope or lens are you going to be using with it?

I think select yes as we are not in GMT currently

The other thing is it might still be your location as it is entered in degrees and minutes and not decimal.

Hi

Things to check which can effect alignment are date format which is mm dd yyyy and whether day light saving is correct.

Hopefully you'll be enjoying your telescope views soon.

Shaping up with a tail, lovely image

Reading earlier posts I see the mount is a star adventurer which might shape the exposure lengths anyway, are you using guiding as that I gather opens up the possibility of longer subs.
