  1. I.m hoping to get 100 if I can, some can't be seen from the UK. I struggled with M41 and got part of the obsy wall in as well!! Good luck with your count!! Ron
  2. I set myself the challenge of photographing as many Messier's in a year as I can, March 31st 2019 to march 31 2020. I have imaged 89 so far, some good some not so good but an image all the same! Some I had to check with Astrometry.com! It's made my last year interesting and at times challenging for sure. Good luck Ron
  3. +1 for APT from me as well, been using it for ages with no problems at all. watch for the updates and check it up on FB as well! Ron
  4. I also use one of these and have no problem getting focus, highly recommended! 😀
  5. I fitted a Moonlite focuser directly onto my ED80, everything lined up but I also had to sand of some excess black paint in the tube assembly. Cheers Ron
  6. Great image and a testimony to a good scope !! 😀
  7. What power supply are you using?
  8. I went for a Moonlite, 2 reasons, 2 accessory shoes and rotation! Never looked back!!
  9. I have a spare angled viewer with the adaptor as I now use the iPolar and app if you're interested?? One of the screws has snapped off but it works just as well with the 2 remaining screws. PM me if you're interested.. Ron
  10. A quick partial M45, very misty and cold!! 13 x 300s +Flats and darks ED80 CCD NEQ6 guided and dithered in APT
  11. The Altair Astro 0.8 Flattener/Reducer is made for the ED80, I've used one for at least 4 years! https://www.altairastro.com/lightwave-0.8x-reducer.html Ron
  12. Well set up and aligned OK, pointed towards Capella and using APT's Focus Aid and Batinov Aid I focused spot on using the IR cut filter. When I changed the filter for the AA Tri bander and found it really difficult to focus anywhere near as good as with the IR cut filter! Is this normal with NB type filters?? There was a Full Moon tonight just to help matters!! Ron
  13. Check out a Flattener/reducer from Altair Astro. That are also cheaper than the SW version. Ron
  14. DSS is usually just for stacking your images, Pixinsight or Photoshop is for processing them (in general!!)# Good images both!! Ron
  15. That's an amazing image, very well done!! 👍
