Hi again all,
After playing around with my newt trying to track down my slight flexure problem and then recollimating I was keen to give it a go last night..On the weather satelitte image it looked like it might clear later in the evening. So I checked the sky at around 11pm and nearly a full sky of stars.....
Quickly setup and decided on Centaurus A, ngc 5128 for a test..
Seeing was not the best as well as transparancy but I was very eager!!!
Ok image is 10 x 5 min at iso 800, Df removed and processed in PS with a modded canon 300d and 6" f/5.6 newt.
Very happy with the outcome even though the guiding wasn`t the best and maybe focus could be a bit tighter..also it was warm...so lots of noise to remove as well.!!!..
This is when Houghys cooled camera would be fantastic!!!
I didn`t end up with any images with trails only a few oval star frames..so I might have nailed it....but need more tests...
Cheers and CS....
