  1. Cool, thats great. Well it was my first image with my new camera so at least I caught something interesting😂. Callum
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Just realised my scope was not collimated when I took the photos!
  5. This was taken with 52 50s subs at an iso of 1600, I tried editing but I cant seem to bring out the gasses without vinetting showing. Any ideas? Thanks. Pincs
  6. My first ever deep sky photo... It looks noware near as good as most on this thread but for a first try I dont think its that bad. Taken with a canon 600d(unmodded), 25 45" lights, 15 darks, 15 flats.
  7. I see... Thanks for the replys everyone, I'll have a look in to the 300pds!
  8. 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
  9. Thanks for the replys everyone, they should help lots. On deep sky stacker my images often come out overexposed black and white with lots of noise, does anyone know why?
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.😒
