Well, actually about my third attempt, but the first time I've got anything even close to passable. Still a long way to go, but I hope my next attempt will be considerably better.
I was somewhat hurried setting up, and took a punt on the camera settings but unfortunately left auto ISO on, so the camera picked 3200. Shutter speed was 1/125 sec, which is too slow. Will try ISO 1600 and 1/500sec next time.
GSO 10" dob, GSO 2x barlow, Canon 550D. Effective FL 2500mm. Manual tracking using the 'get it in the finder cross hairs and hammer the trigger' technique.
Thumbs Up Malc , have some good manification going on there & looking forward to your necx attempt with the manual settings, they actually seem very familiar
