First light on my TS65 quadruplet astrograph

[emyliano2000]

After a night of testing my field battery in my back garden I was lucky enough to have a second clear night for testing my recent purchase, the TS65 quadruplet astrograph.

Because of the full moon I went for the Double cluster in Perseus and I am very pleased with the result. Nice round stars across the field.

50x180sec ISO 400 

And because the night before, when I was testing out the field battery I went for the same target but with my 8" newtonian I thought why not try to stack the photos taken with the 8" newtonian on Friday with the photos taken with the TS65 astrograph taken on Saturday to see what happens.

The first photo is taken with the 8" newtonian and is made of 20x120sec ISO 400 with my canon 450d

And the second one is the stack of the photos taken with both my 8" newtonian and the TS65 astrograph with the same camera.

I didn't know I could do that but I'm happy I tried. DSS said it stacked 70 frames so that means it used all of them.

Hi. Nice shot. I think that with that FOV, just out of frame is another cluster (957?). You could make it a triple cluster:) Clear skies.

Is it possible that dss could stack different fovs and crop the final photo to the smaller fov?

Why did dss tell me it stacked all the 70 frames and the final image was in the smaller fov?

Nice images. You must be thrilled to obtain those shots with both scopes. The TS65 quad is a great little scope and made for imaging.
