The other night I had a lot of "fun" getting the subject on the chip once the Barlow was inline. I tried getting the planet centred first with an eyepiece, but on my SE even switching the eyepiece for the camera was enough to throw it out
So what does it take to easily get the planet on the chip...
- Pier mounted scope in an obsy
- Expensive mount with accurate goto
- Careful setup and star alignment
- Luck of the draw
With the SE, it's a single arm under mounted for the C8, so I can forgive it. And I was pretty stoked with what I got. Tonight, weather permitting, I'll be trying with the C11 on the EQ6.
If you've got any hints, tips or tricks please feel free to share
