    Thanks. It's an Az Eq6. I find the patio is fine with it, i just creep around just in case.

    Arrived last week. Skywatcher Esprit 100. Needless to say cloudy since i got it. I'm like a child waiting for first light. Here she is primed and eager for photons.

    I hope you enjoy Mark. If you find collimation is off try rotating the focuser slightly. I could never get it set up correctly so the rotator could be used.

    Mine from my now sold 135.

    Yes there's a large light drop off but there's a significant drop off with the Epsilon regardless of filter used. Here's a flat with an epsilon and full frame camera.

    I used a 1600 and 1.25 filters with my Epsilon at f3.3 without issue. Do you have the filter wheel mounted directly to the camera or are you using an adapter?

    This is very nice indeed despite the problems. Some lovely golden hues and excellent detail. This i feel is where the 1600 is perfect for our sky conditions. I often set up my gear when conditions are poor. Cloud dodging has become a sport for me, with dozens of frames thrown out each session. I wouldn't have an image with a conventional ccd where 30 minute subs would routinely be rejected.

    Fabulous image Ola.

    Thanks for that i'll have a look when i get a chance.
  10. Allinthehead
    I had a look in the individual subs and no sign of it. Hard to tell as it looks very feint, whatever it is.
  11. Allinthehead
    Anyone know what this is? I took flats for this session and i have subs from another target in the same session that doesn't have this. It looks like an edge on galaxy.
  12. Allinthehead
    That's very nice of you say. Thanks Gorann.

    Thanks Mick?

    Thanks yes indeed a close up would be very interesting. Thanks Olly.

    Thanks for taking the time to comment glad you like it.

    Thanks don. Thanks Chris indeed i'm hoping to get lots more with the other panels. Thanks Toxo. Thank you too Bob. Thanks Ciaran. I do like the dusty stuff.

    Thanks Adam. Unfortunately i haven't had any luck getting the collimation sorted yet. I've been using a laser but the laser itself needs collimating which is proving difficult. I'm not overly fussed at the moment as the stars are fine until zoomed in. Thanks Dave. Ah yes the Little Eagle is on my wishlist too. Can't wait to see yours. Thanks Peter

    Thanks. Doh! forgot to include those details. 6.5 hrs in 150 second subs.

    Hi. This was shot last Thursday night. A feint molecular cloud 450 light years from earth which includes Cederblad 30 and LBN 782. Plan here is a 4 panel mosaic. Shot through a Takahashi Epsilon 130 using a Zwo Asi 071 Mounted on an AzEq6 Captured using SgPro, Stacked with APP, Processed in APP, PS, and PI. Thanks for looking. Richard.

    Yes. I really like this. From the blues to those beautiful golden regions this really shines.
  21. Allinthehead
    I've never seen the Horsehead like this. It really is striking. Love the golden colour behind the head.
  22. Allinthehead
    As has been said try adding 1mm for your astrodon. You could put it between the camera and filter wheel. 1mm is critical at f2. Use a baht mask to get focus then tweak slightly to get round stars.
  23. Allinthehead
    Could it be connected to one of your scopes?
  24. Allinthehead
    I went through the same thing. I was lucky to have a little lens come with the asi 120 so i could confirm the camera worked. Can you connect the lodestar to a guidscope?
  25. Allinthehead
    You can setup as if imaging just during the day. Put your laptop in a cardboard box or something to remove the glare. Trial and error is sometimes the only way and why waste clear sky.
