From the album: Kevin Hurleys Deep Space Objects

Skywatcher 150P with Nikon D3200 at prime focus. 30 x 20s subs. ISO 200. Unguided, tracking only. Stacked with flats and darks in Deep Sky Stacker and then processed in Startools. Full moon was just rising while Orion was due south. I'm pretty surprised at the quality of the image given the moon.

Skywatcher 150P - I choose you!

jonathan posted a blog entry in Jonathan's Moore Marathon

Clear skies were forecast for most of the night so I decided to give the 150P a go at the telescope targets (which I failed to get anywhere with using the ST80, that was mostly due to a bad night though). Found the first target, the Crab Nebula (M1), something I had not seen before. Not brilliant seeing conditions, on a better night may even be able to make out some structure, but tonight it just looked like a grey blob. Other highlights of the night include my first sighting of the Great Red Spot - evident as a pale gap in the upper cloud belt (as seen in the telescope). It was at the corre

Skywatcher 150P - To flock or not, and dew concerns

jonathan posted a topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups

I have just ordered a 150P from FLO and pending its arrival I am reading up a bit on them, it seems that some people have noticed an improvement in contrast by flocking the inside of the tube, and also that fitting a dew shield is recommended. I can acquire a suitable dew shield, no problem there, but I have a question or several regarding flocking. What would I need to do in order to flock the inside of the tube? Do I need to remove the secondary mirror or anything else, and would I need to just cover the entire tube inside so that no original paintwork is showing? How difficult is it? Sho
