Sorry for late reply, yes taken on a EQ5 Mount, but now i've upgraded to a HEQ pro and started guiding

Fantastic! What is "Unbinned" ?

That was a very good explanation, that figures. Thank you very much!

Ok, i give up, could anyine please explain the quality graph? I.e how many frames should i keep for stacking, or what to do after this stage. I kept 1000 frames out of some 2000ish and the results goes like this: The other stack, look like this (the graph is my problem as i don't understand it) And the result is this:

At last a Clear crisp night, 8 hours of my life well spent under the night sky at my cabin. Haven't seen a single star since last time i visited this section:

Thats great! When taking pics trough a Lunt, do you get that color?

Now completing my 1 year cyclus with AP in November. The most important i've learned is what not to do and what i need to make better astrophotos.

Lovely! This will be my target next week.

No, its a EQ5 pro

Sorry, doble posted M27, could a moderator please eliminate the excess picture? Here is M13 Henry William

I haven't yet completed my 1 years cyclus as a beginner, but i think im into something. Soon they will be improved. I know what to do but haven't yet the means to acchieve better results . A few of mine: M 27 M 13 M 33 Moon Moon Moon And the setup

Wow! Thats superb

A neximage5 with a SW 130PDS will give you something like this of the moon:

Thanks! The first pic was: 40X single shots and stacked in registax. I thought that was many, but after seeing that others have taken more than hundreds...... The closeup: Neximage5/ about 700 frames and stacked with registax

Equipment: SW 130PDS. Neximage5 and Canon 550D , EQ5

Thank you very much, much appreciated!

Heres what i have: A SW 200P, a solar filter/film=thin silver "paper" EQ5+synscan a Canon 550 Neximage5 What can i do with this equipment to safely take some shots of the sun? How do i point the scope at the sun without star aligment like i do at night? Can the scope or cameras be damaged if i use the solarfilm/filter? Thanks in advance :-)

I'll do hat, must "repair" some shots first. Here some other pics slightly cropped and prosesssed a litle bit different.

My attempt 05.09.14 The best i could do so far, at least they are better than my previous, an indication that im slightly improving :-) Taken trough my 130PDS utilizing Neximage5 and the usually stacking: Registax 6.1 and PS Plato Copernicus Gassendi The setup Henry
