  3. I wasn`t able to image that much, but my favourites are the ones below: Clear skies! Matthias
  4. Thanks! It´s astonishing how much can be captured in one short exposure (at least for this rather bright target).
  5. Drove a couple of kilometers. Set my telescope up and.... it`s a clear night :) Let`s hope it stays like this all night so that i can finish IC 443

  6. Clear all day. Setup my telescope. Cloud coverage 100%. :)

    Thanks! There are still some issues in this picture like the uneven field, but on the whole i`m also happy. Next winter season i will surely revisit this target. That`s the good thing about astrophotography: In general your subjects don`t "run away" :)

  9. Is it really addiction or more like a love hate relationship?
  10. I`m glad to also contribute to this thread (also not in the way which is preferable ).
  11. Hello again, with this post i just want to contribute to the mono mod statistics. I was unable to remove the cover glass from my D5100 sensor with a soldering ion. So i thought more temperature might help to create a bigger heat gradient. I ordered a pen torch and for about 1/3 around the frame the increased heat of the torch seemed to loosen the epoxy resin. That`s almost the end of the story. In the end i tried for over 3 hours to get the cover glass off. I heated one corner a bit longer (maybe 3s) and the glass cracked... I knew i wouldn`t get of the glass in one piece anymore so i taped it up and started chimping with a scalpel. Long story short, i broke the glass out with an M1 flat screw and i seemed to have damaged one of the bonding wires (maybe this happened at the epoxy sealing step afterwards... i can`t tell). I carried on to polish the sensor just to get a feel for it. This procedure seemed more or less to have worked (at least according to comparison with Herras documentary pictures). I put the camera together again and everything works where the sensor is not involved. So just for statistic reasons. The current score is: technology 1 : 0 me. best regards Matthias
