My first 2 months in EAA - Imaging results with a dobsonian telescope

[Tiago Ferreira]

Compilation of pictures from my astronomy night sessions after 2 months doing EAA with a 12" GSO dobsonian telescope. This images are not Astrophotography, they are EAA snapshots and aren't post-processed. Enjoy!

Nice set of objects. It must be pleasing to have so many.

I have wide views to the sky, it's true. Many years ago i choose to run away from the big city and it was one of the best decisions i've made in my life for many reasons. 🙂

NIce work Tiago. I hope you manage to inspire more people to consider the EQ platform approach. When I first started I did actually think about a platform but wasn't sure it would work with my dob which is quite heavy (it also has a focal length of over 2m so not ideal!), but you're showing that for a medium size dob it can work well. I bet you'll get some great results with the planetary nebulae that are coming our way soon...

Thanks. A strong platform works well for EAA with a dob, even with a bigger one with the versatility advantage: 1 platform many scopes.

Very nice results! Love the poar bear.

You've inspired me to have a go at EAA with my 12" newt and QHY462c.

Cheers👍
