Thankyou for your reply! I thought that might be the case, so im guessing it is probaly just a storm or some disruption in the cloud belts? Thanks🙂 Callum

Hi, I was photographing jupiter yesterday night at about 1.30am BST and when I came to processing some of my images in the morning I noticed something unusual about its bands. There seems to be some kind of disruption/brake in one of them. I have been comparing it to the virtual live view of jupiter on sky safari at that time and it doesn't appear on there. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks🙂 Callum

astrophotography Prime focus with skywatcher 130p
Pincs posted a topic in Getting Started With Imaging
Hi I'm thinking about buying a SKYWATCHER EXPLORER 130P SYNSCAN AZ GOTO TELESCOPE for astrophotography but I've heard that prime focus is not possible without modifications. Could I use an extention tube with my DSLR to fix this? Thanks. Pincs- 4 replies

Hi I've got an 8" dobsonian and I just got a dslr to connect to it. Obviously there's no tracking so what kind of things can I capture. Will I be able to do dso and planets? Thanks

Hi, I just got a canon eos 600d to take pictures with my skywatcher 200p scope. I am using prime focus with it which seems to work fine despite the problems people face with getting it to focus. I plan to get some great shots of the moon, planets and orion nebula but I was wondering if theres a way I can get shots of dimmer objects in the sky. At the moment i am finding this hard as I am limited to a 1.5 second shutter speed in order to prevent star trails, I am putting the ISO up high to get the most light but I was wondering if there were better ways to go about getting the best pictures without a tracking mount. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies ill look in to other eyepieces and magnification, I have got a slightly better quality 15mm celestron eyepiece, do you think that with barlow would be better than the 10mm?

Hi, I got a skywatcher classic 200p just before xmas and I havnt done much planet viewing due to not having more than a 10mm eyepiece for magnification. I recently got a 2x barlow lens and tried viewing last night with a barlow and 10mm lens and it came out very blurry and I couldn't see any detail and it still seemed quite small. I was viewing on a close night when there was a break in the clouds so may have not been the best conditions. Any tips for how much magnification I need and how to see it better. Thanks.

I've got sky safari its very good for a free app. I've never used a red dot finder so I can't really answer that one I'm afraid.

However at the moment i don't think you'll be seeing much, I'm in the south east and the clouds just won't go away.😒
