Nice capture Geoff. I got it aswell last night with my ODK.. It is a bit brighter now than my last capture. Looking forward to your time lapse Dave. Bob.. -
Hi John, this is a lovely image to my eye mate well done. It looks as though you have your mount doing the biz now. I am just starting to guide with mine now, the new firmware seems to be doing the trick for you . Bob.

1st AFRICANO. LAST NIGHT.
bob-c replied to bob-c's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Hi Dave, yes I think at the moment with Panstarrs it is a lot fainter than Africano so I may not be able to with my scope as yet. It is being said that Panstarrs might reach naked eye vis in early May 2020, I would like to think it is. I will keep looking though hoping I will catch it soon. -
Hi guy's, Last night cleared and i had a good few hours imageing and testing new gear. I decided to finish the night looking to see if i could find the two comets C/2018 W2 AFRICANO and C/2017 T2 PANSTARRS I did manage to find africano, see my pic but failed on panstarrs. This is 1x120s @ ISO 1600. Regards Bob.

Well done Jose, I managed to get my first pic of it in the early hours of the 8/8/19 with my ODK 12. 300s unguided @ iso1600 but it is very very faint indeed and not a lot to see at the moment. Will be keeping an eye on it though and taking more pics . Bob. -
That is some mount Dave, looking forward to seeing the full setup. Bob.

Hi, I know that this time of year is not the best for astro imageing with the short nights, but I think that I have achieved my best image to date. This is IC1318 the Sadr Region and the star Sadr taken on the 20/ 21/ and 27th, a total of only 5hrs 21mins...81x240s in HA.. Scope WO STAR 71. Camera ZWO ASI 1600 MC-C. ASTRONOMIK 6NM HA Filter Mount IOPTRON CEM 120 EC.. unguided.. Thanks for looking, Bob.

Hi Dave,, it has been a while since last we talked about the OOUK ODK. I have also placed an order for the 12 ODK with the primary heater fitted. I am wondering if you have received it now, and if so are you pleased with everything. Bob..

Thank you Wouter.

Hi everyone, I just thought that it would be a change to image some of the moons phases as deep sky is not of the best time right now. 96% of 1000 png's. Scope WO STAR 71mm Camera ZWO 1600 MC-C. Mount IOPTRON CEM120EC. Bob.
