M42 first time

Posted By Don Gourley

Well, it's not as good as Klaus's but hey, I'm a rookie!

Nikon D70 through a Stellarvue 85s, 6x5 minutes, dark frame subtracted, stacked and combined using Images plus then Photoshop.

Thanks for your help Klaus.

M31

Posted By Don Gourley

This was my first attempt at M31. Stellarvue 85mm using a Nikon D70. 5x5 minutes, ISO 800 stacked using Images Plus and Photoshop. I think it needs about twice the exposure time.

I took this last night in windy conditions and moderately dark skies. Stellarvue SV85S, 1x5 minute Guided. ISO 800 Nikon D70.

I took this one last year at Soccoro NM. 5x5 minutes f/6.9 ISO 800. Definitely needs more exposure time.

Lagoon

This was taken last year at Socorro, NM. with an Orion ST80 and Nikon D70 piggybacked on a 10" LX200 GPS. Not bad considering I paid $75.00 for the Orion. I haven't had a chance to image M8 with the new APO (thanks Klaus) because of the oppressive heat, and humidity so thick you can cut it like butter.

A little soft on focus but I think it helps.

M13 w/Nikon D70

Posted By Don Gourley

Hi John,

Great M13 shot. I just bought a D70 about three weeks ago but I haven't got any clear skies...yet. M13 will probably be my first subject to shoot.
