Thanks for your reply. Wowzer I did a quick search and that camera isn’t cheap is it! 🤦🏻♂️ But you recommend it yes? And are you able to get good DSO with that setup? many thanks paul -
I wish someone would explain to me in simple layman’s terms how I can take pictures like that -
Hi all, Am thinking of buying a William optics Redcat 51 for imaging DSOs (my celestron 9:5” is too high power) What camera would you suggest please. Would like to keep it simple and easy. Many thanks Paul

Hi everyone, What camera would you recommend to use with my Celestron SCT 9.25” ? I would prefer a proper astrophotography camera rather than a DSLR. I already have a focal reducer and would mostly want deep sky if possible (although my telescope may be too high mag for that), but would also enjoy planetary. Any advice would be great guys. Many thanks! Paul

Ok great, I’ll prep one of my telescopes next time I’m getting clear skies. Previous few times I did that clouds rolled in 😤

Hi all, Is it still possible to see comet Neowise with the naked eye? (I’ve tried but cannot see it) and is it still possible to view with a telescope? thanks p

There’s a hill near me but I wouldn’t want to go there alone at 1am that’s the problem 😬 do you think I should bother attaching my camera to the telescope? I’m not sure what mm lenses they are (my sister gave it to me it’s so old) One lense is about halve a “ , the other lense is about 2-3”s ?
-
Thanks fo sharing the settings. What a great location to observe!....unlike my back garden when it comes into view around 2am for about 20mins before going behind a tree for an hour!
-
Ok thanks. I thought it might be. I’ll also prep my smaller explorer 130m and attach camera to that. So about 5 sec exposure? I’ll try 4,5 and 6 secs exposure and see how I get on. the camera is so old it doesn’t even have live view so need to look Through the tiny 5/6mm eye viewer which is dam hard! ...you don’t even know if things are in focus lol!🙈 thanks for your reply it was helpful. paul
-
That’s what I thought. Not a big window to see it where I am so don’t want waste time trying different ones. ill go filterless and will also try my light pollution ones. thanks for your reply 👍🏻
-
Maybe too high power eyepiece for your telescope, did you try lower eyepiece? Also did you wait for the kit to cool down outside before observing?
-
Hi all, is there a best filter to use to view comet Neowise? Many thanks! Paul
-
Hi folks, Do you do long or short exposure to take a picture of the comet? Plesse advise what I should set my Cannon EOS to (its an ancient camera) I will connect to my celstron SCT 9.5” or is that too much magnification? many thanks! Paul
