I think the noise setting is used to minimise or remove hot pixels...

Sad Looking Messier Objects
m37 replied to uminded's topic in Getting Started General Help and Advice
If you plug your equipment details into this http://www.12dstring.me.uk/fov.htm You will get a pretty accurate representation of the field of view the object should occupy i.e. how much of the whole view it will take up. As for the actual appearance of the object, detail and so on varies widely depending on the equipment used. thanks Chris -
I just use sketching as a form of recording my session. I basically imagine a clock face and locate stars as accurately as possible. I make a rough attempt to represent the brightness/apparent size but I'm not to obsessive about it. I've tried a couple of clusters so far, just did them as a smudge with areas of brightness represented rather than accurately recorded to the nth degree. Mainly I use it as a way to capture my observation and also to force my eyes to tease out every last bit of detail I can. Just use a cheap sketch book, couple of cheap pencils from the B end of the spectrum, finger, eraser, occasionally a home made blending stump (although usually just the finger).

Hi and welcome! Wex photographic sometimes have some good used and clearance tripods/monopods so might be worth a look. Your nearest London camera exchange might also have some used gear. Cheers
