M41-FC 76-Canon 20D

Posted By Greg Bradley

That's nice. That 20D really takes a great shot of open clusters. They are actually quite hard to shoot in my experience. They always seem to look so much better in the eyepiece than the resulting image.

You need Chuck Faranda's Ascom driver for Temma 2. It has a park feature.

New M8, M20

Posted By Greg Bradley

Wow,

That's beautiful.

I am impressed by the 20Da's sensitivity. That has picked up a lot of Halpha.

Its a bit hard to see the shot as it is too large. Could you resize it to 40% of this size and repost? It makes it easier to see.

M88 and Friends

Hi Jim,

That is just superb.

You just get better and better.

I have finally gotten my observatory up and running with some major construction mods. Plus I got the RCOS 12.5 inch and NJP / Sbig 2000XM all tuned and running to perfection.

Plus we had several gorgeous nights here in Sydney recently (sorry for those who have had a long winter - summer here equals clouds, winter equals really clear).

I'll be posting the results of some of tose once I process them which could be a little while.

Newbie help picking DSLR

Posted By Greg Bradley

Canon EOS 350D called the Rebel XT in the US. Modify it yourself or get Hap Griffin to do it for $100.

You can get an external filter to use for daytime use. Xnite CC1 filter is one I believe.

M63 The Sunflower Galaxy - from Utah

Posted By Greg Bradley

Lovely.

I love that galaxy, unfortunately very low in the sky here in Aussie. Why only 5 minutes for subs? For galaxies wouldn't 15 minutes be better or are you dealing with light pollution?

Well done.

Looking for imaging telescope ideas...

Posted By Greg Bradley

There was a guy selling a 12.25 inch Newtonian with a carbon fibre body and F4.5 for $1950 on Astromart. With a Baader Coma Corrector that thing would rock and is outstanding value and may fit your G11 (it'd be at the absolute limit for the G11 for imaging, others may be able to advise you there).

Look under reflectors on Astromart. Here it is:

Nice shot Dan. Very sharp.

Do you find the AO7 to be a useful accessory with your RCOS?
