Orion 14th Oct

[OXO]

Here's my first Orion of the year done with the Toucam Pro sc 1 and 8" reflector+Heq5 mount at prime focus. Really pleased with the image considering its a stack of 20x 6second exposure's

Seeing at this point well it was a little misty but doesnt seem to of bothered the image at all :shock:

Thanks

Nice shots James, got the Trapezium nearly split there!

Very nice James. Some good nebulosity captured. Excellent core detail - and nice round stars. You're getting very good at this lark!

[OXO]

Thank you Gaz and Andy,

Really happy with the image considering, i will process it again later so you can see the split

At least I can what my setup SHOULD be capable of of - which is even more frustrating really!!!

Hi Rog,

Thanks matey, i am afraid my Toucam pro sc1.5 is now just a planetry camera as the Long time exp mode is now guffed so it's sell some items time and get something like the Atik camera's.

James

[CELESCOPE]

yup cant go wrong with the Atik James an amazing little camera to start with, hope you get it soon , and get some of the winter  Nebula

Cheers

Rog

Just remember i have tried them all , the 2HS is the best one to go for ,

[OXO]

Hi Rog,

I will check out that 2HS again and look at the specs, i have heard there excellent camera's.

Thanks

James
