Yes nice shot there. How do you do the guiding with that scope, off axis or guidescope? Also what were the individual exposure lengths?
Thanks for sharing the image
I cleaned it up a bit more.
The answer to both the guiding and time questions are:
Unguided and 30 second exposures. My polar alignment was good enough for two minutes unguided but you drop images wheras at 30 seconds I keep virtually every one.
I was imaging at 1600 ISO, one of the steadier nights seeing I have ever had. There was another guy nearby with a 4" Tak and his view of Saturn was...perfect, not good, perfect.
I spend too much time wandering around chatting to others to do really good imaging, not enough concentration. For example, on this night I wasted 30 minutes setting the DSLRFocus software wrong and taking a single 30 minute exposure, Canons do have a heat problem that pops up...eventually...
Later that evening I took 30 1 second images, jeez!
The only thig that was worse was that because of my chatting I didn't go back and see that mistake for another 30 minutes!
Most of my imaging is follwed by the epitaph " jeez, if only I had a little more data"
The image attached is a recent image of my scope with me (in stupid green frezer suit) and an American Amateur visiting Perth.
