Hello,
After a loooong time skulking under generally cloudy skies, I managed to set up last night for the first time in months! Just to get reacquainted with setting up and operating the rig, I kept it simple with the Mewlon 180 and the Canon 40D and Tak x1.6 Extender. No computer, no GoTo – just a simple night out under the stars.
Bless Pavel Bahtinov for his amazing Bahtinov Mask; I just used “Live View” on the 3” LCD on the 40D, zoomed in to x10 to get the focus.
So here it is, a first for me – Sirius A&B with a DSLR. I created a 2 frame animation showing a single 1 sec and 5 sec exposure.
Thanks for looking!
Cheers
Dennis
