Here's another shot of Jupiter I took last weekend at Mersing. Seeing was really good that at that time!

Thanks for sharing your update on the hot finger. I must admit I was a little adamant on sticking to nichrome wires for my project even after reading about your idea. Planning to start work on my 450D soon but that means no DSO imaging for now! Still haven't decided if it's worth it to go down the d...

Imaged Jupiter a few days back and it is by far my best attempt on the planet. Really pleased to see that I managed to pick up detail on the moon Ganymede too! I still think I could squeeze a bit more detail from my C8 but that will have to wait till my next Jupiter session and a bout of excellent s...

Here's my recent image of Comet 252P/LINEAR taken during my trip to Mersing last weekend. I believe the two tails of the comet are just visible in my image. Not the best of conditions but a good start for me considering it's been almost two years since I last did any serious astro :mryellow: https:/...

Great stuff here. Looking forward to the next parts. A project I hope to embark on soon too!

Seems like it's a hair width's too large. It doesn't fit directly into the Telescope back either. Any sugges...

[Update] Now looking for 1.25" filter wheel and LRGB filter set if anyone happens to be letting go. Got the ASI120MM from Clovis. Hi all. Looking to up my imaging game so was wondering if anyone here has any gear they'd like to offload. Looking at ASI210MM or similar. Drop me a message if you've som...

Would like to know where the fun will be too!

Thanks for all the compliments

@orly_andico yep scope came from you. Not using the autoguider yet as my pc doesnt seem to want to connect to my CG-5. Havent bothered to troubleshoot yet haha.

Hi all, sharing my images from recent family holiday to Thailand. Finally got the chance to image through my newly acquired 70ED from one of our fellow members here. Total exposure after stacking is about 1 hr for each. Taken from Koh Samet, quite a bit of pollution haze in the sky when I was there,...
