Selling a sturdy tripod!

Snuck in some imaging before moon rise. Messier 5 (M5) is a bright globular cluster located in the northern constellation Serpens. Beside M5 is the bright star 5 Serpentis, which is also a double star. Managed to capture the double star in 5 Serpentis in some shots, but doesn't show up in the stacke...

Not really, it can do deep space Astro. According to MSM, it is able to handle focal length up to 200mm. There are people posting in the group that they’re able to do 1-3 mins exposure when polar aligned with Polaris or using photopills app. I tried the photopills app, when there’s no wind I am abl...

Yup, set to south and It tend to trail south west. No idea. Have you tried drift alignment? I want to but the MSM tracker is not compatible to any of the softwares nor guide scope. not sure if the software like PHD2 can be linked to the camera to do drift alignment? Isn't the MSM tracker for wide a...

I went down to Marina Bay again. And watched how the cloudy skies turned to almost cloudless over a time frame of 2 hours or so. The moon rises before it goes behind the clouds. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLUApcpvrKfgUcMH-XhwBKcSosDCwTNLBPrblSv5MinEt7oWChZBcFhFQrH692HM0IBG_J7a1NMQw2zk...

Still looking!

Very sharp corner to corner! Actually last night the moon was a bit bright and only about 60deg from Antares. Haha yes, I was actually practicing drift alignment. Also I noticed that street lamps are gradually switched to LED lighting which seems to direct their light downwards. Not sure whether th...

Short session last night which went surprisingly well. Only managed about 40mins integration, not enough to bring out the yellow antares nebula. But focus of the image is the antares star and M4 cluster. Antares is a red supergiant star shining boldly in the Scorpius constellation. Antares is also k...

The samyang is quite a good lens isn't it? Wat Aperture are you shooting at? I find that I can't get more than 15sec exposure without overexposing when shooting at F2.
