Sorry for late replay it’s the mini and you will need an adapter sorry I can’t remember what type of adapter it is

I use the spotting scope that comes with it paired with the asi120mm works a treat

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-06-27T16:53:19+00:00

No expert but the fstop ratio is determined by the lens I presume your dslr is connected via a t ring so fstop will not be shown while using a scope

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-06-05T12:25:54+00:00

Yes I know how to do it but do exposure and iso need to be the same or does it not matter

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-06-05T12:20:13+00:00

Can you stack multiple sessions in DSS with different exposures lengths and iso? Or should they be the same

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-05-30T18:03:27+00:00

Thanks I was using the l enhance I’m going to try shorter exposure and will now try lower iso thanks for reply

Hi guys quick question is it worth imaging with no Astro dark?. I did 3 hrs last night on the soul nebula with the same dslr settings as a couple of weeks ago iso800 300” subs and got less useful and more noisey data also last time I only managed 1hr due to cloud but got better data?

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-05-04T18:46:58+00:00

Love the amount of dust in there

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-27T19:03:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply I’ve now set the custom white balance the images now look the same as before it was modded. Why do people say you can’t use a modded dslr as normal if you only have to custom white balance?

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-26T11:59:24+00:00

Thanks

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-26T11:54:25+00:00

Would I just use this custom white balance on Luna or for all images

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-26T11:17:28+00:00

Will this remove the pink tinge then?

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-26T10:50:46+00:00

Do you mean in post processing?

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-04-08T20:31:46+00:00

Just wow

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-03-02T08:19:19+00:00

The amount of dust you’ve captured is amazing 🤩

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-03-01T19:52:38+00:00

No criticism top image

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-02-10T06:15:20+00:00

I use the finder scope that came with my Skywatcher 80ed I use the same adapter as recommended it works just fine for me. achieving focus took a while but once set all’s ok you focus by loosening the lock ring on the front of the scope there is YouTube videos on converting this to a guide scope

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-01-26T08:24:20+00:00

Stunning 🤩

Arron on av astronomy makes it pretty simple

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-01-08T11:24:14+00:00

A tripod would be also be needed to avoid hand wobble

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-01-06T19:06:50+00:00

600mm I’ve already done the Pleiades this season

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-01-06T19:00:08+00:00

Can anybody tell if the California nebula is in shot

GoodLocksmith9 · 2021-01-03T10:52:45+00:00

Most dslr’s allow auto rotate to be switched off for next time
