I started off imaging using my 10" Dob and a clunky old Panasonic DV camera.
Not the easiest thing to do. You needed 3 hands to make it work. One to guide the dob, one to hold the camera and a third hand to focus.
But.... I managed to capture some pretty fair images of Jupiter.
This series was published in Sky and Tel in 2006. I was as proud as punch.
Why is this my favourite? Because I was pushing the envelope to the very limits using the only gear I had at my disposal.
I was told you can't do astrophotography with a dob and you need to have a special astronomy camera, or at least a web cam to image with.
So just to prove them wrong I did it anyway.
I was even asked very politely by one ex-member here if i could supply him with a copy of the .avi's used. (I don't think he believed I took them)
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do!
