Finally finally got my mount working well.
This is first light for the new and improved HEQ5Pro.
19 x 5min @ iso800
Darks taken but no flats. It needs flats badly.
Processed in the field using DSS and CS3.
ED80
Canon 20d

Oh, and I shot in jpeg by mistake. I'm such a nong.
LOL but I wasn't going to waste all those lovely subs.

very nice jjj - i like the framing

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I've had the mount partially dissembled for the last week and a half. Put it back together today.
You wouldn't believe how happy I am that it's now working as it should.

[SkyViking (Rolf)]

That's a great shot There's a lot of detail in there. Is your camera cooled?
I might try the same, although it wont be through the scope unfortunately.

Lovely shot - as Houghy said, love the framing/composition.

Hi JJJ,

That is a great shot. I also thought your SUN shot in the other forum was fantastic. How amazing does that thing look when you can actually see its shape rather than glare. I have avoided I think posting my horsey from Asrofest because I have blue halo's the size of basketballs that dominate my image although someone could advise on how to get rid of these if possible. Maybe I should. Have a good Chrismas and new year and look forward to more of your photos.

That's a great result Nettie

I'm aware of the level of stress you've been living with over this mount, and I'm really glad that you now have it sorted. Well done ma'am!

[toryglen-boy (Duncan)]

Glad to see you posting images again mate, and this one is up to your usual high standard!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Dear oh dear. When did you first notice you were collecting JPG subs? Nice image though, the ED80 + DSLR combo does well on this area of sky
