Astroview EQ

Posted By Ricardo Arias

Hello to all. I would klike to know if anyone has any experience using Orion's Astroview EQ mount for astrophotography. I would like to see if this mount is capable of tracking for 30 seconds max using a small refractor and a modified web cam. Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Ric

First Mars image

Posted By Ricardo Arias

This is my first image of Mars with a 6" Meade Achro refractor, 3x barlow taken with a Sac7 CCD on 11/12/05. Image processed in Registax. Can't seem to obtain sharpness, possibly due to focusing? Comments welcome
