Had a go at the M45 but doesnt look to good to me...

32 x 30sec lights 

10 x 30sec darks

iso 400

taken with skywatcher 150p, Nikon D3500, EQ-5, 

Stacked in DSS and processed in GIMP

Colour i mean 

Do you do flats straight after doing lights and darks..... How would i get more condor and more sharper in the image

Sounds really complicated to me doing flats sorry

Thanks... How do you do flats

First go at imaging it, stacking it and processing it

8 x 30sec lights

4 x 30sec darks

ISO 400

Taken with Nikon D3500, Skywatcher 150p, EQ-5, Dual Enhanced motors

Thanks 

I do all the alignment before putting telescope on but wouldnt it knock it out off alignment while setting up.... What is second alignment star

Thanks

Do you align your mount before or after setting up your scope... Just wondering 

Traveling by train.... Is the st102 not as portable... Looks like a nice scope to go with my 150p aswell 

I have been looking at the sw st 102... What are they like

Just looking for the ota on its own

I was looking at that evostar but its out of my price range.. Something between 150-170 pounds but cant seem to find anything.... I cant take my sw150... Its to big lol

Can anyone tell me if this would be ok as a travel scope 

Yes thanks

When i fitted my motors to my eq5 it said in the manual that i might need to ajusted some screws on the ra part..

Why do i need to do this 

So in 2 hours it should have rotated 3 cm

How would i work that out

This is 2 hours later.... Its that about right or is it to slow

Ive installed my skywatcher Enhanced dual axis motors to my eq5 and thought i would running it this is the start

Batteries are fully charged 

It turns when i press direction buttons and the battered are full charged

Hi... wondering if anyone can help me out.. I have just filled my motor drives to my EQ5... In the manual it say if i turn it on it will start compensating for the earths rotation but its not all im getting is a flashing red light with a bit green light on the hard set can anyone help please 

Thats what it i what to try.. A bit of basics astrophotography.... But trying to understand polar aligning really baffles my head
