royholl Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The conditions tonight were not very good, I had to wait until the cloud moved out of the way at 2300, and then had a bit of a problem with dew. Anyway I managed 8x300 second subs at 800 ISO. I’m quite pleased as every thing worked and tonight seemed like the last chance to check the kit out before the Kelling Heath star party this coming week.There is a problem with the stars in this image and I think it could be down to the dew or possibly collimation, or both, and I think my focus is a bit off.Well this is the result of a difficult night but I think I am starting to get somewhere now.
