This may be a daft question, but it may not be so I will ask it... If I get a nice sharp image of the moon (focus spot on) will that focus setting be good for every other object in the sky?. e.g planets, stars and deep space. Thanks Paul

And they never turned up to collect it.

I have the latest version 2023 , and what is the built in function please ?

I have downloaded that plug in but it just crashes my photo shop.

Is there a programe that will remove the stars from my image so I can play with the background. Or may be even a way to do it in photo shop Paul

I have a Canon 80D and Skywatcher AZ-GTi in EQ mode (non guided), my question is which lens from below (and what focal length) would be best to capture NGC7000 in bortle 6 skies. 50mm f1.8 24-105mm f4 70-200mm f2.8 150-600mm f5.6-f6.8. Also any tips would be appreciated e.g. shutter length (t) ... iso value ... advice on extracting the best image to see the nebula colour. Thanks Paul

@NoFlyZone, I took this image of the milky way a few years back from our B&B in Springdale Utah ... not too far from you I think .... we dont get skies that clear in my home town. .

Welcolm to the forum .... from a wet and windy Ironbridge Shropshire England ....

do you have a link for this site please

It will be 36 for you ... I live at latitude 52 so my wedge is set to 38.

Yep .. one of the best.

I always adjust mine to "9" as well, moves well then.

Anyone got an answer please.

Just purchased a CLS filter for my Canon 80D as I live in a bortle 6/7 area ..... my question is ;- Do I do a custom light Balance before I start imaging or remove colour cast in post. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the detailed reply, it's much appreciated. I am in bortle 6 area with a main A road street lights to my North East, East and South East and no view to the west due to a hilly treelined wood close

Cut the actual star/nebula light therefore requiring a longer exposure or not ?

Was it on batteries or power adapter when it died?

Wonderful images .... is your Canon modded?

3. who's head yours or the neighbours ... lol

I don't have a scope at all, just a Dslr and lens.

Can Sky Safari workwith NINA ?

Glad I read this, I thought my poor results in the last week was down to my technique or errors in setting up ....... mind you it probably was ... lol ... 😝

Thanks ... so in the image below (View through polar scope) polaris is positioned between 8 & 9 oclock where through my camera lens (same as viewing with your eye) it should be placed between 2 & 3 oclock for true north. Is this right? Paul

Yes and good luck to you also. I was hoping to do M104 but my neighbours roof is in the way .... lol

Thank you... just set up to image m102 tonight.
