Images from my Samsung S8 and NexYZ adapter

[PaulM]

Nice thread\section - will be interesting to see what others have captured\do

Belowimages taken using my Samsung S8 camera mounted on a Celestron NexYZ 3 axis adapter through my 300p dobsoniam with goto\synscan

Used the photo app Camera FV-5 to control ISO and exposure times,

These are all single image shots with exposure times between 2 and 10 seconds depending on object and ISO 800 and then I did some limited post processing in GIMP 

To ensure the camera is in place I shine my red light torch down the tube to align the camera centrally and then focus

M82

NGC457 - Owl Cluster

C14 - Perseus Double Cluster

NGC 6543 - Cats Eye Nebula

M57 - Ring Nebula

What an awesome first post in the section Paul, thanks very much! ?

Presumably you took a number of subs and processed them in Gimp? Do you have info of how many/how long to get these results?

Updated my post - all single images with exposure times around 2 to 10 seconds and ISO 800

Thanks Paul. I love the central star in the Catseye. I had assumed these were stacked images but great that you can get that much colour with single frames. I guess 12" of aperture helps!

A note, the Owl Cluster is NGC457 (one of my favourites), not M97 which is the Owl Nebula

I was impressed with what I could achieve as well and am patiently waiting for the next clear night to see what Orions Nebula comes out like - corrected the NGC reference for the Owl Cluster thanks

Great stuff. Love the colours in the catseye and the ring!

Makes me want to try the 14" on my EQ platform. Must give that a go sometime soon. M42 will be amazing in your scope Paul.

Very nice indeed. Think I might get a NexYZ.
