Mike JW Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Neptune was close to a mag 10 star last night so I observed it visually with the C11 and then popped the camera into the focuser. 11 x 1 sec subs. Triton showed up nicely. Mike 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R26 oldtimer Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That's very nice. We don't get many eeva reports on planets. Why didn't you use the telescope with it's native focal length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually planning to hunt out a nearby galaxy cluster and needed to be at a faster focal ratio so I did not want to to find Neptune and then have to add the focal reducer and refocus.......but you are right I should have gone for it at f 10. Next time....... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
