If you can get 90 sec unguided shots with an 8" Newt on an EQ5 with no trails reliably that aint bad at all, in fact I would say this is good! .
Thanks John

I guess we could be asking a bit more than our equipment is capable of doing as you suggest.

We haven't had a chance to try with the reticle as yet, maybe we can creep up a few more secs If we can bump up to 2mins we'll be extremely happy, if not we'll be happy with 90 sec.

We're using a Pentax ist DL. - Prime Focus at F5

Hey !! Astro imaging is really frustrating
