The Moon - Taken with my Tasco 80mm telescope and Nikon D5200 DSLR 13 Jan 2014
-
-
From the album: The Moon
The Moon was obscured by fast moving light cloud. The 2 second video clip was taken using my DSL camera in video mode (using my telescope as a prime lens). I processed my first short Moon video using Registax and Photoshop.© HSKYGAZER

Great images. I would be interested to know what equipment you used to get them. -
I have bought and started to read Making Every Photon Count and found it very interesting about deep sky astro photography. I have started to photograph the stars, moon and Jupiter with my existing Nikon DSL, lens and Tasco 1200 x 80 telescope with a manual equatorial manual. I am considering buying a Skywatcher 127 telescope with synscan. I was wondering what results I might expect using the telescope, compared to my existing set up?

The tracking will help a lot, if it is a Mak then it is better suited to planets. Concern is there is 1 moon and 3 planets. How many images of them do you want. The scope is not suited to DSO's. You do not say what the mount is, if Alt/Az it is not suited to DSO's either. If you want to "full" range of options=Planets and DSO's then you need a short fast scope and an equitorial. Posting this in the Beginning Imaging section would get a lot more answers.

I have started to take some AP photos with my DSLR camera, lenses and Tasco 1200 x 80 telescope with manual equatorial mount. I think to get improved photos I need to get a motor for my vintage Tasco or get a new lightweight telescope with a go-to mount. Any recommendations are welcomed.

Star cluster full zoom of original image

I have since discovered this star cluster is called The Pleiades M45 and is in the constellation of Taurus. -

I believe this cluster includes Taygeta, Asterope, 2 Tau, Celaeno, Electra, Merope, Alcyne, Plelione and Atlas based on the information I got from Stellarium mobile. This is my first attempt at taking digital photographs of stars.© hskygazer

I bought Stellarium mobile for my phone to identify some stars that I photographed. I was amazed with the information Stellarium has given me.
