Imaging with a Star Adventurer
Ken Mitchell replied to M Astronomy's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
Congrats! For a first this is exceptionally good! Looks like you will be enjoying the SA a lot Can you share more info on your gear and settings? Ken -
It stands for Star Adventurer, Skywatcher mount -
Thanks! Did a new target yesterday, located just at the left from the last image. Unfortunately I had to remove 1.5hr of subs due to startrails. Not sure what caused this. Guiding and PA was good. I'm thinking it has something to do with balancing as it happened before when the mount was in the same position. Have to look into that. Ken

Thanks a lot. Nope, no mods done on the d610. Summer nights are fairly 'cold' here, 70ºF at night atm 🙂 Ken

Thanks! Not sure if bortle 4 is considered as dark skies? But I can't complain I guess, as it's pretty easy to see the Milky Way from my backyard. Ken
