Omega Centauri

[Astrobserver99]

Left-Omega Centauri with Meade LXD75 150mm Newt, f/5, x2 Barlow, HEQ5Pro, Canon 300D

Drift Aligned, Unguided

1 min Exposure

Right-C8 SCT f/10, Prime Focus, 306s, Guided. This was the first image with my new C8 Setup, Looks like focus could have been a little sharper. I focused through the viewfinder, next time I will use DSLRFocus.

Cheers, Rob

good first try with the new scope, thats a long Focal length youre working with you will need guiding at some stage to tame it.
we dont see many lx75's , given how many must be sold we should see more. post some more.

cheers clive

NIce, what kind of barlow are you using with the canon?

Thanks

I was using a standard Celestron Barlow

A strange thing happened today. The images I posted changed to different versions, I had to upload them again.:)
