Hey guys, I got this one of the Carina Nebula on my 10 inch dobsonian with a synscan goto.

25 sec x 167 shots
6400 iso

I can't wait to shot M42/41 plus the horse head.

Hi Danny,

well done, what kind of equipment are you using?

That's pretty good - I thought you would have more field rotation at that sub length? Nice....

Hey Joshua, Yeah I'm using a 10 inch dobsonian reflector synscan goto. For the imaging I've got a Canon 7D mounted with a T-Ring, then I stack it through Deep Sky Stacker & process it through photoshop. Ths telescope is a 1200mm. I wish I had a EQ6 with a ED80 for a cleaner image but I get that down the track. Plus I've only been doing this for about 4 & a half months.

Hey Lee, yeah this image was cropped in a bit, the edges are a bit distorted with the curved mirror.

cheers guys :D

Keep at it Danny, its very rewarding and just a plain good time.

Great start Danny. Wayne is perfecting his art with similar type gear and great results.

That's a nice shot, Danny :-) can't wait to see the horse head!

[Danny_86]

cheers guys, with my photos I rotate the camera about every 5 mins, as having a dobsonian telescope you get field rotation.

Hey Rowland, he I seen Wayne's picture it looks great, do you know how he deals with the field rotation?

[Danny_86]

Hey Joshua, I bet you get nice dark skies down Albany way, It's pretty good in Pinjarra where I am.

[Danny_86]

Hey Romina, yeah just got to wait a couple of months for it to pop up over the horizon.

You will have to ask him Danny. He is the pro. Not my area of expertise. Although I would like to give it a go
