Gonzo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 newbie here from Kingston upon Thames Here's a picture I took last night with my Lumix GF1 cameralens is a Minolta 50mm f1/17ISO 800 --- 4"Also some previous attempts at the moon and Jupiter with a 500 mmIndex of /moon/I'm thinking about getting a Skywatcher Skymax 127.From reading many posts here, it seems to be a good all-around one. Can also be used for DSO viewing by adding some bits to it Gonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm using a normal mini tripod, at ISO800 if I try longer exposures you can see a trail forming.Still experimenting as I am a newbie in astrophotography.I have a motorised mini EQ1 coming next week for my DSLR, this might help for longer exposures.hi and welcome from me is 4 secs the max you can take ?30,20 secs on a tripod would get you a better think nice first go will take a look at your others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
