Lagoon and Triffod

I Modified an Adrews F4 relector a 200x800 . I had to move the mirror up 30mm to get focus with my canon 350D.These are primefocus shots done in Raw mode and converted to JPG they have had no image processing done on them. I used the EQ6 bore scope to Align the mount.Before imaging I checked the drift with a Guiding eyepiece.the ISO -800 Img-1468-132secs--Img-1466-107secs---IMG-1463-53 secs.---Img-1461 -70 secs. .there is light pollution in the shots I did them in my backyard.Plus I shot over the tin roof of my house I was worried about heat coming up off the house.The OTA from Andrews With rings- frieght -2 eyepieces-finder scope -and beleive it or not they left the polar scope in too.was $499.00.

Hi Tony

Theres a lot of good data there, your post dosent do justice

Heres a quick tweak, sorry if its not good quality (dont zoom ;-)

Can you somehow post the full res (or near) to fiddle further?.

Cheers
Fred

Good going Anthony, the 8" should make a good imaging setup....
you will have to get your ED80 mounted on top for guided shots..
cheers Gary
