My first pictures

[Casperovic]

hi all

i would like to share some of my first pictures of m42 , m81 and m82 , this are my first astrophotos and i'm verry happy even if they are not that good taken with st80 on unguided eq3-2.

30 and 60 seconds exposures mostly on iso 1600 wit sony alpha 390

thanks for looking , and if u can leave me any tips do it !

to the next one

Nice pictures. Can really see a lot of fain details in M42 even though it's a bit noisy. Great framing with the running man too!

You even cought ngc2976 all the way on the right side there btw, not just M81 and M82

You have some vignetting problems, taking flats shuold correct this.

Thank you very much for your advice about flats , i tried once with the white t-shirt and after 20 minutes of stacking in dss image was horrible , any ideas ?

My advice to you is to source loads of cash a.s.a.p. These are great for your first attempts and and especially so considering the equipment you are using. Good luck with future images

[SJJ]

Great start. Echo Tommy B's advise, get ready to start spending!

I'd be very happy with these for a first go. Hopefully I will be imaging some time in the not too distant future.

They are so much better than my first images. It is a nice feeling to be pleased with what you have achieved.

Well done, a great start, very impressive for your first images! I think I would have fainted if my first images had been like that!

+1 for Jannis' suggestion to use flats.

Have you got an image of one of your flats and the result you got that you can post in case it helps to see what the problem is?

Very nice picture!

[Casperovic]

Thank you all ! I was really surprised what u can get using st80,i think its a very good scope to start with reading a forum helps a lot too !

I haven't got a picture with flats but i probably did them wrong , i will deffinietly try next time and more subs will help as well.

Have a nice day and night
