legion48 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 ...all firsts for me. None of them are anything write home about as I couldn't track for more than 12 seconds again tonight. Not sure what the problem is. :? However, the goto was the best it's ever been tonight. The Blue Snowball was bang in the middle of the 10mm eyepiece. When I finished imaging it I left the Toucam in and did a goto on the Saturn Nebula and there it was, middle of the lappy screen. Same with M82. If only my laptop battery had a bit more life, who knows how many more firsts I might have gotten.M82 - 53 x 12 seconds:Blue Snowball - 16 x 12 seconds:Saturn Nebula - 24 x 9 seconds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
