Pitch Black Skies Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hi folks, I've recently picked up a second hand DSLR and have attached it to my 8" reflector. I just wanted to share some of my first pics with you all. This is completely new to me, as is astronomy if I'm being honest really. I hope you enjoy them. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Cheers Edited July 21, 2021 by Pitch Black Skies Named the pics 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko61 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Your Jupiter and Saturn are superb. How did you capture them? Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_P Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think that these are great, and also cover quite a variety of targets -- wide-angle Milky Way with landscape, Moon, planets, all from a first collection. Bravo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a 2x Barlow and recorded a 30 second clip of them each, then processed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoloFanatic Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 These are great, I'm quite jealous of your image of Jupiter with the moon passing in front of it! Really great colour too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
