tonights the night

Tonight I am going to take my first webcam image. I'm blumming tired (Sunday music festivals and real ale - you know how it is ) but i Will stay awake. At 55 deg north the moon will probably be too low , so will look for another target. open to suggestions I hope I can get a good polar allignment as it is still rather confusing. I hear its the most important issue when imaging objects. I do have a dual axis motor so hoping it will be ok.

Has anyone got any top tips for someone who is a complete beginner in webcam imaging? as I dont want it to be a disaster

many thanks

The best webcam targets at the moment are probably Jupiter and Venus.

I wouldn't get too worried about perfect PA as your webcam shots will be only a couple of mins each and the stacking software can cope with a bit of movement frame to frame. PA should be good, but no need for perfect. Hope it goes well for you.

How did you evening go, S Kehoe? I'd like to see some of your images if sleep deprivation or cloud cover didn't stall things.
