First DSO's with new mount.
Hi everyone.
I recently became the proud owner of an AZ EQ6 GT, and here are my first few tries at using it. They were taken with 102mm doublet, and a canon 600d.
So far I have just used the mount in alt az mode, as I'm waiting for an illuminated reticle to arrive for polar aligning.
The mount is easy to set up in alt az and tracks objects nicely - I just need to put up with field rotation and keep subs short.
The M17 neb was near zenith so lots of rotation happening there.
Question: In the NGC253 pic, my background has a patchy speckled appearance. Is this from pushing the data too hard (ie: too much levels/curves), or caused by something else?
Would love tips on improving so whatever comes to mind, please let me know.
Cheers.
