This is the first time I've seen the stars since I got my new scope, & 10 mins after I shot these it had clouded over & was raining.
(crazy weather!)
Anyhow I'm pleased I got SOMETHING!
(even if they are crappy)
Seeing conditions were very poor 3-4/10 but I was itching to get jupiter so I ignored that bit, lol.
The first one is with the 2X barlow & IR/UV cut filter. 100 frames stacked. No resampling in registax. 1/50th sec @ 5 FPS.
The second one I added the extension tube just to show the difference between using one & not. IR/UV cut & again, no resampling. 200 frames stacked. Shot at 1/25th sec @ 10 FPS.
Both with: 45% brightness 60% gain 65% gamma.
I left collimation alone, didn't even look to find out if it was out or not.
But I did run the cooler for 2.5 hrs before shooting. Bring on some decent seeing!!!!!
C9.25 & toucam.
