    Any standard concrete mix in bags like Wickes stuff, just give it time to dry completely. That's all I used for my pier and my 35foot hamradio mast. The mast has been in the ground since the early 90s and no problems.

    Don't get started. 😉

    Try updating the bad pixel list. Let the camera reach ambient. Put it in manual mode. Chose sensor cleaning, second yellow spanner menu. Chose clean now. It will do a clean and you should hear the shutter. Wait till the clean now highlights again. Then turn off The bad pixel list should be updated and RAW convertors should discard these pixels.

    I think your Baader one is doing really well, it's nice to have the narrower filters but it's not the end of the world if you don't have them. I got lucky mine was quite cheap, got it with a set of Astrodon LRGB filters from another member.

    Hi, not used Baader filters so hard to say but the Astrodon 5nm works very well at f/2. There is some vignetting but I could live with that, at least I could image after the LP got really bad here. Thanks for looking at mine, not done any for a while, got back into an old hobby that takes most of my time now.

    Nice image. It is a huge region with lots going on.

    May be that is the problem. Make sure it is adjusted correctly for a dslr and it's t-ring Canon and t-ring should be about 55mm+/- back focus, cannot help with adjust as not seen or used one before.

    What flattener is that, does it suit your scope?
  9. wxsatuser
    May be the Moon causing it, would expect gradients but this looks more like vignetting. May be someone with a similar set up can give some idea.
  10. wxsatuser
    Try without flats and see if it's still there.
  11. wxsatuser
    Are you using flats?
  12. wxsatuser
    I like it. Just how it appears on a wet cloudy night.

    I can see some nebulosity in PI but horrible gradients.
  14. wxsatuser
    Not sure on all of them. Remember also these shoot with Liveview, no viewfinder, not sure if this makes them warm up a lot.
  15. wxsatuser
    Correct.

    Never double the ISO and half the exposure, they are not equal in AP. Basically the total exposure should be as equal as possible. One 10minute frame at ISO 200 is two 5minute frames at ISO 400 and four 2.5minutes at ISO 800, etc.

    Bet the Moon had something to do with it, plus Bortle 6, time to stay indoors. 🤔 btw Heart and Soul is brighter than the Rosette.
  18. wxsatuser
    That's AP for you, anything can go wrong and it will. 😁

    How about an L bracket for your camera model and a Arca Swiss clamp for a mini guide scope. Failing that just use a side by side bar.

    You can get better images with a lens but the cost comes near to mid to high end scopes. As above, a small refractor should be fine and for your budget get a more modern camera as well. Look around MPB should find something nice for £600.
  21. wxsatuser
    When compared to Hasselblad they are reasonable. 🤔
  22. wxsatuser
    Nice image but you won't see much emission in M45 as it's mainly reflection nebula.
  23. wxsatuser
    You will need a decent scope to cover it, 55mm diagonal or the expensive GF lenses. BTW the Fuji medium format is a cropped medium at 0.79 where as full medium is 0.64.
  24. wxsatuser
    I believe they are reasonable, may be better than Canon but no first hand info. Take a look at Digiborg and type fuji in the search box

    Movie crop mode is only really useful for imaging the moon or planets. If that is not to important to you forget it and just go for a model that is relatively modern and fits your budget. If you went for something like a 60D you will get movie crop and more than likely some dosh left over for a lens or two. Thats if you intend to use it for normal photography as well.
