Went for a trip to my mates place (forum member 'Erg') 4 hours from Canberra down in Orbost, Victoria.
Managed to get 5 'reasonable' photos for a newbie at the astrophotography game. The 2 nights viewing was quite poor in terms of seeing conditions, it was cloud free, but there was SOOOO much atmospheric turbulence and extremely windy.
Saturn was taken with a 25mm eyepiece and eyepiece projection
Moon was taken in prime focus (one was at night, one was a day shot)
Tarantula nebula and Lagoon nebula were both taken at prime focus using a Meade f6.3x focal reducer
The quality is quite low and the images are unprocessed. No darks or flat frames used and both photos were one single exposure of 5 minutes only. This tells me that I have the ability to improve on these a lot, but I am still very happy with my first results.
Cheers
Sam
