striving_amateur Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 https://youtu.be/yG9BFrbyG9BFrb1k1s Guys any suggestions on how to get better results using a 5inch reflector? For this I used a smartphone to capture 10s video at ISO:200 ,shutter: 1/100 Preprocessing in PIPP and stacked in registax with some wavelets too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion25 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi, buddy! Cool YouTube page. Not a bad image using your smartphone. You'll get a lot more detail and clarity if you get a space cam for your reflector. There are some inexpensive ones you can get to start off with like this one: https://www.telescope.com/Orion/Orion-StarShoot-5-MP-Solar-System-Color-Camera/rc/2160/p/103029.uts Of course, the more expensive the camera, the better the results, but I get some good results with the Orion 5MP and my Mak. Since you're using a reflector, a barlow would help with the space cam to yield a larger image. I use one even with my Mak. A telescope drive will allow you to capture more frames to process. It's exciting imaging planets and Mars is really putting on a good show this time, being almost as close it was in 2018 and with no global dust storm this time. Good luck with the imaging!

Looking at the video I would guess it's a little overexposed, I think there is more detail in your video that will show if you can find how to lower the exposure in your video software, from what i've read on SGL you should highly reduce the exposure when capturing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
