Last nights collection with new toy

[Parallax]

I've had a chance to roughly process the images I took last night with my new Atik.

All are 60s exposures but I'm not sure how many subs were actually stacked as I was so excited at the results that I forgot to look! I can't wait to start guiding. In fact, I'm now off to make a piggyback bracket for the ST80.

That's a nice collection to start with. Guiding is definitely the way to go to.

I can understand your excitement Steve, those are splendid images for a first attempt with the Atik.

You can look foreward to some great work in future, the signs are very good indeed.

These Atik are most popular cameras, I haven't heard a bad word about them.

Well done mate, but please try to remember the details next time. :laughing2:

That's a really good start and the guiding will make all the difference!

Excellent start Steve, next step guiding! You must have had a very busy night gathering all those subs on so many subjects. Well done.

Great stuff Steve

As said, the images are very crisp...once you start guiding there'll be no stopping you!

Cheers

Thanks guys. I did wonder, beforeI bought the Atik, whether paying 10 times more than the price of a webcam would get you 10 times better images. I needn't have been concerned, it's well worth the price.

I've now piggybacked the ST80 onto the Explorer...so here we go!

That's an excellent start Steve, there's no doubt that you are 'on a roll now'

The guiding will open up a whole new perspective to your imaging.
