A Collection of my progress through Astrophotography

Post by shirox »

Since I started out AP in 2011, I was lucky to have good friends and mentors who guide me through the imaging procedures. Alot of things cannot be learnt on the web and at times you will just scratch your head and ask yourself, what is wrong.
My first experience of imaging was in Mersing 2011 May. Those were fun moments and alot of trial and errors were conducted.
These are the images taken with various scopes and will constantly update this thread as and when I have new projects. :P
Enjoy!

*In sequence from my learning days haha*

Tiny Saturn untracked with VMC200L basically I just video the drift through my FOV lol Tough!
