M92 : My 1st globular cluster

[Catanonia]

Eventually got the hang of the guiding camera and software.

Pointed at a clear area of sky and got M92 cluster for about 10mins worth of guided.

Well done.

Did you prefer to Image 92 instead of M13?

Anyway, you must be pleased with this effort.

1st M object I spotted in a clear sky to test out the guiding on

Nice round stars looks like you have got yourself well on the way now.

that looks very nice. What are the shot details ? Is that a single 10 minute sub ?

Focus and guiding look very good indeed

All sorted in plenty of time for the longer nights...

Dont think of the 80 purely as the guide scope though as there are some targets which will be better imaged using it as the imaging scope...

If you haven't already got it track down a copy of CCDCalc and the additional images...

Or set up FOV indicators for the differnet scope and camera combos in your favourite planetarium software...

Was 2 5 minute subs guided with 1 dark subtracted on the ED120 Pro refractor scope in my sig. Guided with PL 130m on and ED80 guide scope.

I am thinking then ED80 is almost wasted on guiding only, but didn't really want to sell it as could use it to take images as well when want larger field of view other than the 120 Pro version.

Quite pleased with the focusing / guiding on the image. Time to step up the sub times soon.

Add a cheapo Achro for guiding and image through the other 2 at the same time

That is greedy

It's called making the most of limited opportunities...
