Jupiter-Orion-Sirius-Rigel

Hi Community,

Just wanted to share some of the snaps I took last week


Jupiter-Orion-Sirius

Sirius

Rigel Double Star


The last two images were taken via afocal method using GSO 8" f/4 on autoguiding. However what I noticed was PHD guiding would loose the guide as soon as I would start clicking snaps via my 5D mark III. The scope was mounted on the HEQ5Pro and it was a rough polar alignment. But I'm starting to think maybe the 5d's shutter click even with mirror lock up causes disturbance and somehow the autoguider is obv very sensitive.

What are your opinions and what should I do to correct this ? Has this happened to anyone else ? I may try again using a 400d to see if it causes disturbance to PHD or not.
