ASTRO1966 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi everyone been into astronomy since i was about 8yrs old (1974) back then had a 60mm refractor which showed me the rings of saturn craters of the moon . Didnt keep up the hobby as a teenager ,girls etc. Got back into astronomy in 1992 with 114mm reflector on a homemade driven eq mount with a 35mm SLR piggybacked on top was able to image brightest galaxys nebula etc.Recently got an NEQ6 with an OMC 140 MAK ,ATIK 16IC CCD ,so able to image at a decent image scale.Use EQMOD to control mount. PHD guideing QHY5V guide cam.Hope i can give some useful tips and gain some . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
