Vega

[jayjt29]

Following on from Jnc71106 thread on here and many others in the past, i had a stab @ imaging Vega last night. The first time using a DSLR with my scope. After 2 hours and many many many images i have this:

1 single 6 second exposure, iso 1600. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Thanks Kris, simple for many... lol spent two hours messing about! with over 200 images taken, oh well atleast now i know roughly what im doing!!! lol

In image capture there is only focus and tracking. That is in focus very sharply indeed. You're winning.

Thanks Olly,

I have some duel axis motors, but they dont seem to be upto much or should i say my polar alignment isnt!

Might have another go tonight.

Good first image, Jay. As Olly said, the focus is bang on!

Cheers Revs, it turns out that it was the duel axis motor stopping me getting more than 6 second exposures or rather me for not tightening one of the grub screws up tight!

Hopefully the first of many DSO's in my new found and very interesting hobby!
