ummm... I first took interest in astronomy in March this year... I bought my 8" early april...

Played with imaging with the 8" on the Dobsonian base untill last month when I bought my EQ6 pro...

Just checked my "completed images" folder, theres been 35 images... the first of which was a pitiful tiny little jupiter taken with the 8" on the Dobsonian base with the same webcam, no barlow... It hardly even resembled Jupiter....

5 months in astronomy, 4 months planetary imaging, 10 images a month or there abouts...

Im a pretty quick learner...

Thanks for your comments Rob...

Most impressive work Alex.
It is good to keep an archive, to look back on and see from whence you came.

Do you have a cooling system for your primary. It makes a considerable difference.

How do you focus?
A remote control focuser also makes a massive difference to the image quality.

Regards
Trevor
