Just wondering, to improve my image, i guess the only way is to get a bigger telescope?
Or is there anyother way to achieve better results short of getting more apeture ?

ah sorry to miss out the details.
Here they are:
Taken today, using Philips ToUcam Pro 740K, on a Celestron FS 114.
Using a 2x Barlow.
Focusing was tough, getting saturn on the screen is tougher!!
Adjusted some settings here and there, taken in b&w.

Tried taking Saturn, and this is what i got...

Image is quite blur and no details can be seen...
10images stacked.

but hey, it's my first attempt

Hi,

Does anyone know how long u can leave the exposure open before the stars start to trail with a normal camera without any scopes?

and

how long before trailing on a non guided scope?

We should all eat spice and fold space like the Spacing Guild

I read that book, i think it's the same book. That book got me thinking about anti matter and everything. it's a great story.

Someone should set up a fund to research anti matter! for the good of all mankind, so that within this generation, we could all take a rocket to our favourite galaxies!

with all the talk about whether is there life out there, has anyone wondered what anti matter is? In the views of many, they believe that in life, there is an equal to everything. There is an equilibrium in the universe. We are all matter, the sun, the earth, stars etc all made from matter, so what'...

Here's a SCT beginner's website.
It also gives tips and advice on various stuff like astrophotography.
I looks like a useful site to me. I hope it helps you.
