Took a few more pics tonight, seeing wasn't great I don't think, seemed to be a lot of misty clouds about round here.
Anyway, I think my polar alignment was a bit off tonight as the stars appear to be a trailing slightly, although the focus appears a little better.
I've got loads of questions !
1. If I'm uploading a picture onto this site should I load the .jpg or the RAW file?
2. Some of the red stars appear a little artificial? is it just me or is there an issue with the photo/camera/setup
3. I noticed the camera lens was misting up a bit, how do you folks keep it clear, 12V hairdryers or is there a better way?
4. A lot of the stars appear to have shadows of themselves - is this just because of the tracking not being quite right?
5.... not gonna ask any more for now, I don't want to take liberties with your kind help.
(I've attached one of the photos - from the constellation Cygnus (I uploaded it to Astrometry.net which was recommended previously, great tool for identifying objects -> I'd never heard of the Foxhead Cluster before !)
I bought the every photon counts book about a year ago but have never really looked at it, must dig it out from the bookcase, I'm sure there must be some good advice in there...
thanks again folks for your advice and help 👍😃
