First Try - Moon + Lagoon Nebula?
Hi Everyone,
I'm very new to this whole Astronomy thing, I acquired my first telescope just 1 month ago (and its been mostly cloudy since).
It is a 6" Skywatcher (750mm f5) on an EQ3 mount (with the steel tripod) and dual axis motor drive.
I have a 5d MK3 as I've been into "normal photography" for a long time.
While pretty pleased with my early efforts I'd like some honest feedback to get an idea of what is achievable with my current equipment.
The moon is taken through a 2x Barlow (1/160 - ISO1000)
It is a single image. Am I likely to get better results with a more complicated setup like a laptop - backyardEOS - live view video and stacking from my 6" scope?
Nebula - (this is ther Lagoon Nebula isn't it?)
I don't know how I got so lucky, I used sky safari to work out roughly where it is, and manually slewed via the 7x30 finderscope, took a picture, and it was right in the middle.
This is 3 DSS stacked images (30 seconds each @ ISO1000) without the barlow.
Thanks for looking.
Brett
