My First M-51 in color

Posted By Brian Maynard
I like it. It's one of the very few images that I've seen of M51 where the foreground stars didn't look like artificial dots. Good work.

Is an old orange C8 suitable for ccd astrophotography ?

DEC adjustments should be very minimal if your polar alignment is good. Better alignment means fewer adjustments. I think trying to manually adjust any errors would be very difficult while imaging. You could adjust in between exposures however.

Help! Autoguiding....

I dont thihk you need the relay box. Did you try to hook the camera up straight to the R232 port. I'm pretty sure SBIG knows the LX200 command line and therefore no need for a relay box.

That is some incredible detail. I hope the transit finds your scope well and hope to see your images. As for your toilet issues, well lets just say."Man who stands on toilet is high on pot.".

NGC 7331

Posted By Brian Maynard
Looks pretty good Maurice. You even caught two other galaxies. I think that always makes for a cool image. One thing to keep in mind. Color filter wheels don't work with focal reducers. Not exactly sure why but it must have something to do with the CCD chip being too far away from the reducer. This has been my experience. Some one else may have another idea. Good luck.

Excellent web site. Great images. Do you own all those different scopes?
