  1. Im sorry I can't answer your question but Woah 😳😳😳 Those images look sick. I got a similar telescope and am wondering how you took these pictures, do you mind sharing the exposure time, iso, amount of stacks ?
  2. So a Barlow would help focussing, but then a barlow isn't for astrophotography ? Couldn't I just manually focus with the camera ? Edit: so the barlow has the T ring adapter built in?
  3. I just got into observing and would love to be able to take a picture of what I'm seeing. I got an old Nikon D60 from 2012? laying here still working perfectly with multiple lenses. I did some research and found I should buy some kind of T-ring as an adapter between the telescope and camera. Is this the only thing I need to take an image ? Thanks in advance!
  4. I got stellarium on my phone and the dekstop version but can't see where to spot easier targets ? I've downloaded lots of apps but not a single one presents me with easier targets. They just list them all.
  5. Thanks for all the advice guys, really appreciate it! Also, I was wondering if anyone has a site where I could see which objects are easier to spot this time a year. I took a look at telescopius but wasn't sure. Thanks!
  6. I really just put my smartphone to my lense in the most awkward way possible 😂
  7. Thanks for this very useful link! Just read through and it answered my questions! I really did think I would be able to see a bit more than just this of M13 with my heritage 130.
  8. This really helped! Thanks! Now I know what averted vision is Also thanks for the sketch, for me it was straight black last night that's why I was confused haha
  9. Thanks everyone for the advice, tips & explanations! I'll try the objects you adviced tonight 😀
  10. I thought about trying to view Jupiter & Saturn or just our moon haha, but i'm surrounded by large trees in the distance on every side. So it's really only up I can watch from this location. But I will defintely lookup better grounds tommorow 😁
  11. So the Coords are: 50.8, 4.7 and its a bortle 6 sky. I guess I completely forgot the visibilty factor. I thought all galaxies would always be visible 🤪 I just picked one that was close to me and easiest to setup to. I'm less dissappointed now I know this! 😂 Also thanks a lot for the tips ln trying M13 and M57, i'll definetly try that tomorrow! Got some good skies here this week 😁 Thanks for helping a noob out Pixies!
  12. Also I saw a beautiful blue bright star which I thought was Alkaid. But theres just nothing but stars under him. Not even a small muddy smudge of a possible galaxy.
  13. Thought I was looking at M51, since Ursa Major is beautifully located right now above my house. First image is of Startacker App. Second Image is what I took with my phone just of the sky with encircled where I think M51 is located.
  14. Update: Stargazed for 1.5h and it's obvious I need to a learn a lot. I can't wrap my brain around how this thing moves. Every time I want to move right and I look through the red dot I can simply turn right, but when I'm looking through an eyepiece it goes left ??? I'm so dumbfounded about this I just can't figure out how to simply move my view. This is the same with going up and down... I understand that if I go right it goes left or the other way. But when looking through a lense it does the opposite of doing the same thing but looking through the red-dot. Now another remark is what I can actually see. Is there a way to zoom in with the lenses or something because what I saw with the 25mm was just a bright small dot taking up like 2% of the view and that's it. Even though I was 100% sure I was looking at some galaxies, I just cant see anything, I checked and the focuser is focused. Enclosed is a picture just with my phone directly to the lens, quality is a bit blurry and smudgy but its not about that. Its about barely anything I see. Could this possibly be due to my Bortle 6 class skies ? Because with my bare eyes I can see way more than with my telescope (10mm or 25mm lens) Thanks in advance!
  15. Looks like it was the top of a fench blocking my view 😂 Luckily just that haha
  16. Thanks! I've alligned it now but every time I watch through the eyepieces theres like a little grey blur blocking the left 25% of the view. But theres nothin on the piece or the mirror? What could this be ?
  17. I just received my first scope, a Heritage 130p and set him up immediatly. Can't wait till 3 more hours to do my first stagazing session 😁 Are there particular things I should look out for, since it's my first time doing this. And any tips & tricks are also welcome! The moon can't currently be seen from my garden in this stage so I'll probably start with stars and some easy DSO's.
  18. I've been trying to reduce noise on some zoomed in pictures of the moon i've made but i'm not sure if i'm approaching this the right way... It looks like it darkened the overall image a lot (which i'm not that bothered by). But I was wondering if there are better ways to do this. Currently I just applied a black image over the original image and 'blended' them together with one of those premade options. First image is the original one with noise. Second image is the editted version. Third image is of photoshop, what I did. Thanks in advance!
