Afocal Deepsky Orion

[Ultrapenguin]

Hi all, as you can guess from the title this is an Afocal shot of Orion made up of 6 subs each 8 seconds long, ISO1600, 800,400 2 of each. processed in deepsky stacker. The scope was a 150PL with an EQ3-2 with dual axis motors, camera was a Fuji Finepix bridge camera on an Orion starshoot bracket all through the standard 25mm EP supplied with the scope. I know it is not up to the quality of the DSLR images but its interesting to see what you can do on a budget!

Hats off to you! Great pic!!!

[Beardy Bob]

Nice. I reckon you could get a bit more out of that with a play in photoshop or GIMP too.

[VigdisVZ]

Great job. If you can stack some of those you can do good actually.

That is really well done

Good first try and I agree with what the others have said That's much the same way as I started except I only had a 130mm scope. I used a Canon S40 point-n-shoot camera on a similar bracket.

very good effort indeed.

well done

Thanks everyone, my intention is to add some more subs and see how far it can go! I may also have a look at the runnung man although it is much dimmer so I am not sure it will work so well.
