Thank you very much! I appreciate your input and suggestions! I will try the above

Hello, I am not very experienced in astrophotography so I would like some advice. I just ordered a ZWO Asi2600mc Pro and I would like opinions on good scopes strictly under £2k to pair it with. I am interested in DSO and to get to capture some of the smaller targets too. Any opinion and advice will be much appreciated! P.S. I own an EQ6-R Pro

your comment for the bottles made me chuckle. I had never thought of it thatway! 😂 Your obsy looks pretty sweet there in the corner! Thank you for the comment!

that makes perfect sense. Thank you! I will just carry on with setting it up and see where it goes Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

that outbuilding is the other neighbours. The gardens are asymmetrical, there's a fence right next to that outbuilding. It looks like that outbuilding is less than 2.5m while if I put the top on my obsy it will be higher than 2.5

Thank you for your suggestions!

If I do knock to let them know.. should I ask them if it bothers them? What if they say it does? These folks took their fence panels off one day to paint them both sides and didn’t tell us they would… so I don’t know what to expect from them 😬

I really hope so! I hope my neighbour won’t get close to the fence and start measuring. I don’t know what these neighbours are like.

Just to clarify… the observatory itself is 2.47 and the concrete base is almost 15cm… which would make it in total 262cm. your comment is encouraging. I am pretty stressed out about it because I thought the observatory was shorter.

Hello, I recently purchased a 2.2 Pulsar observatory. It has been in my garden in pieces for a couple of weeks an dI have had a shed base and pier built by a builder I know. It was painted and sat there until today… Today I started putting it together and to my surprise it seems to be taller than I thought. For some reason I thought it was 2m high but apparently it’s 2,47cm. The cement base is about 15cm high and it’s close to the boundary. I will have a problem, won’t I? so much work and so much money spent…

thank you both for the reply. I just feel like Green will look better in my garden and match the surroundings. If anyone can point me to the right direction on what kind of paint I should be looking at.

Hello, I recently purchased a used 2.2 Pulsar obey. It’s the typical white colour and I would like to paint it maybe green. Anyone has any good suggestion for a specific paint? thank you

Hello everyone! Today is my birthday, and I've had a surprise custom made birthday cake and some presents from my fiancé, which I thought you would all appreciate as much as I did! video-1649081077.mp4

Thank you for the reply, Stu. Camera is a Canon 1100D modded. I believe my area is classed as bortle 6

Thank you for the reply and trying to check out the files, Peter. After spending some more time and working on the tif without the flats, I managed to make this.... is that bad? What could I do to improve it? Thank you

here's the TIF without the flats Autosave004.tif

Hello everyone, Last night, a clear sky after a long while for me, I decided to take a few shots. I setup my rig in the garden and shot Rosette Nebula for an hour an a half... I am new to this, so don't stone me if I completely messed up. I used a modded dslr, an L-eXtreme filter and shot 30 x 180". I also added 20 flats in there. Here is the stacked photo tif attached... can you tell me if I messed up stacking, if the data is bad or if I can't post process it due to inexperience? Here's also a photo of how it looked on my asiair pro while shooting. Many thanks in advance ngc2244.tif

I rotated mine z73 upside down which did the trick.
