Astro Photography
Well I've had my scope for a view weeks now. Its a 10" collapsible skywatcher dob with goto. I've been able to take a look at several planets, the moon and some galaxies which has been great. I'd like to try and take some photos but so far have been unsuccessful as the camera doesn't seem to want to focus or take a picture. I have read that supposedly you need to slow the shutter speed and have a higher iso setting but other than that I basically know nothing. I have tried with the camera attached to the focuser with the ring and also with a barlow lens and adaptor. The camera is my wifes older nikon d80. Searches seem to talk more about the equipment needed not necessarily how to undertake it. Any tips in relation to even the simplest settings or methods to at least try and get one photo would be appreciated.
