It seems that this target is very popular now which makes sense.
Monday was the first time I had a go on NGC 2070.
I also had Sharpcap working with my Canon camera and did the polar alignment. Slewing to the target I used Stellarium.
The hand controller hasn't been used for a few sessions now.
Another new item was using TeamViewer to sit inside while checking on the progress on my tablet while the laptop was sitting next to the mount.
Still a lot to learn in post processing.
Mount: SW HEQ5 Pro
Scope: SW ED80
Main camera: Canon EOS-M6 M2
Guide camera: ZWO ASI120MM mini
Software used: Sharpcap 2.9, APT, Stellarium, PHD2, TeamViewer, Photoshop 2020
Attached is the full picture and a cropped version.
Hi Wilco great first attempt. What sort exposure durations, ISO, and number of exposures are you doing here? Are you stacking the exposures in some software - not sure if Sharpcap does that, can be done manually in Photoshop, but deepskystacker if free and easy ;-)
Thanks Peter,
I have finally "mastered" plate solving in APT and NINA and they came up both with the same RA/Dec which is a good thing. :-)
Now I can go back to the same location every night when I set up and ad more data.
