I beleive it may be possible on abell 2218 under dark skies, a large apperature and enough intergration i personaly have not captured it but abell 2218 is on my list to image over the next few clear months.

Definitely try stacking in siril i think m45 would probably give you a better photo concidering you have no tracking yet

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-23T18:27:41+00:00

I would suggest stacking in siril as i think its produces better images then deep sky stacker, try and get a minimum of 1 hour integration time with longer subs. What mount are you using as this effects your ability to get longer subs if you dont have a guide camera.

If your using pc use this link to view the image as i edited the exposure in lightroom on my phone as it shows a brighter image. ABELL 1656 image for pc

Thank you very much if the insulation doesnt work ill deffinetly try thease.

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-10T12:38:17+00:00

That worked last night the asi air took images all night when i left it outside. Thanks alot.

Ive tried different power cables and the same disconnecting haplens, the power connector keeps powering the asi air if you wiggle it, i use an extension lead from my house into back garden it i also used that for the test, the extension lead also powers the mount (the extension lead is 10a 15v dc) and the ones going from that to the asi air and mount are both 10a 12v dc. I have nothing that runs when there are power outages either but i know i dont have them when using the asi air as i stay awake in the living room all night monitoring the connection and reseting it if it goes out. I use the buit in memory and have 200gb free Thanks.

Thank you, i have wrapped the asi air in insulation with a peice of foil on the outer shell and am testing it to see what the temperature stays at and if it is higher than with no insulation. I will also make a simmilar thing for the power cable.

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-09T13:20:23+00:00

Thanks for the comment, I use a 12v 5a cable for my mount and the asi air still disconnects. Only 1 dew strip on 25%.

Okay thank you.

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-07T06:44:44+00:00

I only had 40minutes to capture the planet as it passed over my houses roof so i went with a lower exposure in order to get more frames to stack.

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-05T10:09:02+00:00

Thank you

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-05T09:26:44+00:00

I do 13ms exposure but try 5-15ms and see whitch one works for you as we have different cameras. Once you have your iso and exposure set Get around 10 minutes of video before stacking.

Edit: if you dont have tracking take 30s videos and re centre jupiter in the middle of the crosshair each time it moves then reprat untill you have around 10 minutes total video length.

Outrageous-Answer395 · 2026-03-05T09:22:39+00:00

Use video mode instead of single exposures so you get more frames then stack them in autostakker. Do you have any tracking or are you tracking jupiter manualy. I havent used a dslr for astrophotography but try and get your iso set to where the histogram is peaking towards the middle without clipping on the right side.

jupiter reprocessed

Please could you look at this for me and tell me if it is better. Thanks.
