  1. Not overly happy with this, in trying to keep the stars small they have ended up rather coloured and odd looking. prob better to just try remove them completely. Anyway image data 1 hour of each Ha, oiii and S2 from a dark site with ed80 and Atik 460ex. Any advice how to make my stars better is appreciated.

  2. Hello

    Im wanting to start imaging Galaxy's close uo, iv got my trusty old ed80 but focal length isnt long enough, Iv got an HEQ5 and a C9.25, what are my options for galaxy imaging with a long focal length without spending too much? would i need a neq6 for the C9.25 or can i get something with long focal length that would sit on the HEQ5 happily, any advice appreciated. 

  3. Hello

    My brother picked up a an old 1995 Tal 1 Newtonian scope 2nd hand recently, using my standard plossel 1.25" eyepieces i cant achieve focus as there is not enough inward focus travel, the mirror appears to not have been moved, is there any way round this? i had an old tal x3 barlow but i unfortunately sold it. will this solve the problem? Any help appreciated.

  4. i had one for a while and just didnt get on with it, it seemed hit and miss, im pretty sure the focus was spot on, i got fed up with it and sold it and got a finder guider which i use with PHD and havent looked back, Finder guider is light also so doesnt add too much weight to your overall setup, as Andy was saying i rebelled against using a laptop at first, but when i started using the  finder guider and phd and using APT with all its useful functions i couldn't think of imaging without a laptop now.
