Russe Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The bad weather made me look at more old data from September last year. This was my first attempt to image with a DSLR on a 127Mak. 22 subs á 600s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Drew Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just goes to prove that long focus Maks are no good for DSO AP, or not. Excellent image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russe Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thank you very much! Initially, I wasn't able to figure out how to process and nearly threw in the towel. Now, 5 months later, I'm quite happy to see progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I got all excited about maybe I could get some DSO with my Mak once I get my DSLR then realised I still need an EQ Mount... curse having to save up for it as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly it's not easy because your mount won't be stable enough and won't track very well. I'm not sure about guiding an A/A mount - but I thought I saw a topic here a little while back.For DSO's think - bright objects - you should be able to get M57 for example...

Killie Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well I know I will give it a go when I finally get a DSLR.. the wife says I need to wait for Christmas but I don't think that one is going to wash... this hobby is slowly burning a hole in my pockets :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad - but you'd still need a coma corrector!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Oh I need a Coma Corrector with the MAK? I didn't know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
