G'day everyone, first attempt at using the heq5 with the camera on top. Reasonably happy, a lot to learn, and can only get better with practice. Soon after this set was taken I finally got phd working so now i can push the exposures out further. Picture stats are below.

Camera: olympus E410
Lense: Zuicho 70-300mm @ 277mm
22x60 sec tracking not guided
10 darks,
5 bias, no flats. (will take some flats one day).

Thanks for looking.

Hi Rex,
Fantastic image...is this with a regular home diigital camera ?
have you used any clamp or bracket to hold the camera ?

Nice Rex well done.

Hi Uri. Thanks for the encouragement. This photo was taken with the E410 camera attached to the mount. No scope, so I just attached the camera to the dovetail with the right size screw.


Thanks Paula. Can't wait to try again with guiding now that I got it working.

.... after the all nighter you pulled the other night, your auto guiding must be spot on.
