getting my feet wet - first pics - 4 attachments (1/3)
Hi Ryld -
I could see your Saturn pic but I had trouble downloading the other images (I saw Rick's responses however). You must have a far better west horizon than me, Saturn is too low in the west for me to try and image it. My best horizons are to the south and east; I cannot see Polaris next to my scope. I hope you continue to keep your "feet wet" (please keep posting). I hope to try some afocal shots with a really good Canon camera (not mine) in the near future. -cheers - Rod Ryld wrote: taken afocally with an orion ST80 and a finepix s5200 camera.... |

getting my feet wet - first pics - 4 attachments (1/3)
Thanks for all the input. I have only been able to get a few shots before
my scope broke. The st80 ive got is the older one with a plastic block and metal insert in it to bolt to the mount (the new ones come with rings). what happened is with the weight of my camera it was working that metal insert out and now it will not stay in there at all. I think ive got a good workaround for it - straped the scope to the mount with a couple bungee(sp?) cords. This seems to work for now just get a little extra movement when focusing. Hope to get some shots of m45 as soon as it clears up here - 45 is up about 40deg here at 4am...got my fingers crossed ryld |
