CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
First light out of my freshly purchased planetary camera. This is just a screen grab from the live view without any calibration or real knowledge of what I am doing yet. Still trying to work out the capture program and settings. I am pretty impressed with the image scale though.
I had a bit of a play around with it tonight for the first time but really need to read up on how to do this. The help file is not really helping yet. It's going to take a while for me to make sense of it all. Can't wait to work it out!
Camera: Imaging Source DBK618 on an ED 120mm refractor telescope with a 2.5x powermate and a 2x Barlow.
"The importance of a telescope is not how big it is, how well made it is.
It is how many people, less fortunate than you, got to look through it."
