My 1st attempt at imaging!

[KE400]

After waiting for a clear night, I finally got a chance to try out my recently purchased Phillips spc900. I know this aint exactly Hubble quality haha but I'm quite chuffed for a 1st ever attempt at catching any kind of image at all.

I've used SharpCap & Registax for the 1st time too and would appreciate any kind of feedback, advice, help for my next attempt.

I found it quite difficult centering the image from the cam including getting a nice focus and also failed in my attempt when adding a barlow to locate and focus any image at all. I guess this will improve with practice and an improvement of my set up.

Along with the pics, I've also attached the settings I used for SharpCap.

I'm just pleased I captured something haha!

Good one Kev

It's nice to get those first images under your belt (so to speak).
