Please be gentle ! My very 1st guided DSO-M1 the Crab Nebula

[beamish]

Okay here we go.

ISO 800, 10x 180s, 5x240s 5x240s Darks added. DSS and PS CS3 Extd.

I am +ve there's more to get out of this but my skills are just aren't upto it I would have had a great deal more data if it hadn't have been for the dozy mistake/oversight re the guiding settings in PHD.

BUT I am rather chuffed with this (set as desktop bcakground )

Anyway it's a start ! Onwards and upwards Might give it more time during the week.

You can feel justly proud of yourself Karlo. This will have done more for your confidence than you realise. Well done mate, and I wish you every success.

[beamish]

Thanks for the kind and positve comments folks :oops:

[Aza]

Well done! Getting guiding working for the first time was one of my happiest moments so far in imaging

[Mel]

I'll second that - I have only been guiding successfully for a short while but it is such a significant step.

Nice shot as well.

[beamish]

It's hard not to tinker away

I think this 8" has a lot more to offer in due course

What did you do wrong with PHD?

What did you do wrong with PHD?

Ant

I was trying to guide and kept getting calibration failed because...... I was trying to guide with EQMOD but had left the " mount" settings menu at " ON CAMERA" - DoH :withstupid:

I eventually decided to change over to ST4 cable, at which point I noticed the problem and changed to Ascom, connected to mount via Eqmod 5/6 and BINGO !!!! :wav:

Put it this way, it's not as is if I'll ever make that mistake again

[Sam]

Karlo, that image just keeps getting better and better - you're certainly extracting a lot of detail out of it. Well done

[beamish]

[Starjumper]

Great image Karlo.
