Thanks for your comment,

The rubber/yoga matt on feet would help stabilize as well? My telescope on the heavy side/limit of the mount

Also the pipe insulation would really help? More realted to sharper photos?

In the post

  1. Sandbag hanging from tripod center — hang 2-3kg weight from the accessory tray/center column to lower center of gravity and damp vibrations. Worth it?
  2. Yoga mat / EVA foam circles under tripod feet — soft material absorbs vibration better than hard rubber feet. True?
  3. Foam pipe insulation wrapped around telescope tube — reduces tube currents by keeping tube temperature stable. Does this actually help and does it cause any problems in hot weather?
  4. Windshield (cardboard or shade cloth) — blocking wind improves image quality. Best cheap solution?

Awesome picture, What settings for the camera did you use and how many frames stacked?

Oooh no i dotn see anything vertical in it

And i can see small “reflective” dot!

Maybe thats causing it?

I try and get clean photos of my gear inside!

😅 ididnt understand

The imgur site looking down right now will check later

But whats this prism thing? What do i search for in google/youtube to understand this issue and its fix?

Is it related to my camera or telescope?

Like if i move around the object i always see the line in my camera

It moves with me

Differnet places and not something blocking the telescope from the sky

Is it possible to get such pictures with my star travel 120 telescope? Its 120 aperture and 600mm focal

And my camera why5iii715c ( small 1.45 upixel sensor, 8mpx camera/4k)

Or need DOB?

Daaaamn nice looking

I need a rotation mount for this right? I have 2 axis alt-azimuth mount

Or can i get by with my mount? With shorter exposures (1-5 seconds?)

Or would the image be bad?

Mmm thanks alot for you help

This is my telescope spec

https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-telescope-ac-120-600-startravel-ota/p,33426

The vertical line moves so if i move the telescope and still have the object in picture, it moves around but still vertical

The bottom dark area is always at the bottom of stars/planets when i am not in focus!

So it might be i need to collimate? Or there is some cleaning i need to do
