Eta Carinae - Manually guided with Eq2 mount

[orestis]

First try at this,

Manually guided on dodgy eq2 mount, 4 X 30 second shots at iso 3200 stacked, no darks.

The vertical lines on the stars I think may be caused by my dodgy tracking.

Camera used was Canon 550D with Ef 15-85mm lens.

Thanks for viewing

Any feedback ?

Anyone else tried hand guiding that can give me tips?

Thanks in advance

Excellent stuff Manual guiding? That would have been a pain the butt

I would try a lower ISO - there is a lot of noise in the larger image.

Thanks Tim,

Yeh, I will try a lower Iso next time and just grab more subs.

Cheers
