The dec axis on my AVX hasn’t been working for a couple months. Here is a picture of the graph from the guiding with the AsiAir. The DEC was riding at around a 20 last night and the star would be lost often. Is this backlash?

I am currently in a Bortle 2 zone and I have a light pollution filter on me, even though it’s dark here should I still use it? Would it highlight more of the gasses in the MilkyWay?

What do you mean live view? The screen?

Hello everybody, I am wondering if there is anyway to help reduce this horrible noise when trying to take Milky Way images, this image is a 30 second exposure iso 1600 with an astromodified Canon 450d and a Rokinon 14mm lense. Noise has been a constant issue with this camera and I want to see if there is anyway to fix it before I buy a new camera.
