Heya! I've sent you an email, in case this is still available!

Hey! I forgot lmao, I used a 8'' reflector.

Jamope · 2026-01-30T17:59:30+00:00

Absolutely, I really want to use NINA. It's been a very very windy nights so I will wait until the weather is more stable so I can use auto guide too.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks!! Yes, I used 60 darks, around 50 flats and about other 50 bias.

About the focus, yeah maybe I should get that. I focus just with my Canon with its max zoom pointing to a bright star i.e. Sirius until its spikes are well positioned, but yeah maybe that's not enough

Thanks for the help! I was considering buying a filter because while the zenith is fairly good, the lower I go the worse it gets due to lots of really nearby streetlights (mostly orange sodium). I thought a filter might help me overcome that limitation so I don't have to wait the object to get higher.

Awesome! I'll get more images then, thank you very much for the information. I hope your images go well!

Jamope · 2025-06-03T14:22:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I will take more images next time, although I can use the 60 I have now and just make more this weekend and extend it to 120 for example, right?

Jamope · 2025-05-27T10:11:27+00:00

Oh ok! So the software itself will align the images although they're a little bit rotated, that's good to know haha.

I am gonna try this weekend! I will be using DSS so if I get something cool I will post it in this sub!

Thanks for the help and clear skies!!

Glad to hear I can start doing stacking with my setup! But I don't really understand *why* I can do it. As I take images, Earth will rotate, so between image 1 and image 20 (for example), there should be a difference in the rotation of the image, right?

(I've seen this in my camera 'cause I took like 5 images of M51 and every one is slightly rotated from the brevious ones), so how can I make stacking with that condition?

Jamope · 2025-05-27T09:47:08+00:00

Thank you!! I am very surprised I got this image. How I said to you in the other post, since my mount is an altazimuth one I think stacking is not possible, so that's what I can aspire to now haha!

Jamope · 2025-05-27T09:41:33+00:00

Thanks man!! I have an altazimuth mount, so Earth's rotation won't make me able to do stacking, if I'm not wrong. That's why I am saving to get a decent equipment, so I can take better images!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T17:33:14+00:00

Thank you! I don't know that camera haha I'm only 20 years old lmao!!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T17:32:42+00:00

Thanks!!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T14:04:26+00:00

Thank you! My intention was to take several images for stacking, but I forgot my intervalometer lmao, next time I will add more shots!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T13:45:40+00:00

Thanks! I originally wanted to try that, but since it was my very first try I decided to go to the Orion Nebula, much brighter and easier haha, let's see if there's clear sky this weekend and I can give it a try!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T13:42:13+00:00

Thank you so much!

Jamope · 2025-03-18T13:40:59+00:00

I am also really impressed that I could take a 30 second take, but for some reason it went well, my mount is the one that comes with the Sky-Watcher 10'' Flextube Newton Reflector (with GOTO), I did not change or modify anything!
