  1. One word for this pic --- Awesome !!
  2. I always wanted to do NGC 1273. This one has come up nice without tracking. What was the equipment used ?
  3. I consider a dob to be an astronomers best friend for the sheer leverage we get in terms of setting it up and of course the aperture. Even if you get a computerized mount my friend, polar alignment, star alignment etc; will come as added baggage to your hobby. Go slow to enjoy this hobby to its fullest. I have owned a dob for many years and believe me, the 8'' you have will show you some extremely pleasing views.....depending upon how dark your skies are. My 10'' dob gives outstanding results when I view from bortle 2 skies. Best of luck with your new hobby.
  4. Thanks a ton. Watch the match....ICC World cup...heading to unbelievable finish...
  5. Good evening. Shown below is photo of Andromeda Galaxy I shot last year. Near the core of its satellite galaxy M110, I have marked a star. I was unable to identify this star. Would help if some one can tell if its a foreground star. I have searched the net to see some more pics of M110. This star seems to be there in some photos whereas in some pics its not seen.
  6. Hi. I am new to planetary imaging especially using softwares like PIPP, Autostakkert, Registax etc. Yesterday I took a video of Jupiter. Processed in PIPP and then Autostakkert. Later imported the TIFF file to Registax but was unable to pull out any detail on Jupiter. Attached is the image after Autostakkert converted to TIFF. Is this of any value ? Or should I trash it ?

    My introduction to Astrophotography

    Some of my first photos which were shot using my 10" Skywatcher Solid tube Dobsonian telescope. No tracking or guiding (since I have a dobson). Please give your candid views. My next posts should have better images as I have recently ordered a Skywatcher EQ6 Synscan Goto, which is expected to arrive by first week of March 2015.
