emyliano2000 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Friday night was clear, yey. Friday night there was no moon, yey. So Friday night I went with a friend on the hills of South Downs National Park to shoot some stars under the nice bortle 4 skies. I always wanted to shoot some dark nebulae and I found that LDN 1235 was just right for my setup so I made it the main target for the night. I'm quite please with how it came out even though longer integration time would do it more justice. I used my travel setup, the EQ3 with the TS65Q and ASI294MC Pro cooled at -15C I shot 67x180sec at Gain 200 and Offset 30 Emil 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emyliano2000 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 I added a bit more of the luminance to it. It looks a bit better to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought a new secondhand one a few months back and not used it yet .. Thanks Brian. The TS65Q is an absolute gem of a telescope for its price. I had mine for 2 years and I love it. So far I only used it with a dslr and only recently I started using a cooled camera with it. Here's a photo of M33 shot with it and a canon 600D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian28 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Cracking shot 😁I will be using mine with one of my QSI cameras , according to the charts will give slight undersampling but great for wide field , which is exactly what I was looking for .. . The scope did get some bad press on first release I think , but I believe later versions were rectified.. and the proof is in your pics 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emyliano2000 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 At the moment I'm shooting at 2.27"/pixel and I have a thought of trying to swap the ASI294MC with a camera with the IMX183 sensor. It would give me a pixel scale of 1.18"/pixel which I think it would be great for this scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
