I'm still a beginner learning the ropes of improving my skills and stuffs into astrophotography. For a start i think the results was quite pleasant and i can't wait to capture more details lol

Hi Kevin, its auto guided using Mini borg and QHY5. No problems so far for 10mins sub. But the Trifid was using mostly 5 mins sub. With some advice from sifus, i was able to do this hahahaha

Thanks jeremy, there's one trip coming up. Are you in Singapore?

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Jun 09, 2011 1:08 am

No, I left Singapore in 2003 :-(
But I went on several trips to Mersing when I did live there (1999- 2003)
Now in the UK.

Go well!
Jeremy

Ok here's another shot of my humble shot of M31 Andromeda Galaxy

With this image, i have captured 4 different types of celestial bodies namely:

1. Galaxies
2. Nebulae
3. Open clusters
4. Globular Clusters

All this was done in Mersing on 2 great nights.
Hope to have more of this chance to take more objects and improve my skills in both shooting and processing.
Of course with time upgrade to a better suitable cam. lol

Enjoy!
