Its first night outside. William Optics 102GT with Flat6 Borg mini50 guidescope. Haven't gotten to use it much 27 straight days of rain after it arrived Had it out last night but the wind was just too much so I packed up early. Its in the 90's now when the sun sets here so the DSLR is super noisy. Saving up for a CCD and filters.

I use a jump starter battery on my rig too. You can catch them on sale frequently. I think I paid 21 bucks for mine. Lasts all night even with the dew heater on. Get one with a cig adapter on it and a 4 way tap with usb ports and you will be able to power most anything you need. I think I paid 7 bucks for one of those. Problem with the jump starters is the weight costs more to ship them than to buy sometimes so try and find them locally.

Just got into imaging the skies. Using a DLSR and a StarLapse rig I recently put together. This is the first shot with the set-up.

Last night I was able to get a couple more.

North American Nebula

Horsead Region.

All single images having problems getting DSS to work for me. But making progress. I shot a lot of subs last night so I have plenty to practice with now. The North American nebula shot is a 7 minute unguided shot with no drift align. Equipment is working pretty well just have to learn to process these things.
