CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

What kind of instrument?
ETX 125 and a nikon 4300 digicam..
Thanks for the info man.....
But how did u get this kind of magnification?
Were u using eyepiece projection, or what?
he has the same setup as me...etx, nikon 4300 and scopetronix adapter.
from the size of saturn in the first pic, I would guess he's using a 15mm or 9mm eyepiece with x3 optical zoom of the camera...

I have the same set up, albeit an ETX105 but would be interested to know if I can get the same results. When will you be imaging again? would like to do this side by side with you.
thanks rich.. i usually do imaging downstairs from my block though.. rarely have the coincidence of timing of clear night + me being free + me being not tired + people being at dempsey + there being good seeing.
anyway, your welcome to watch but alot of it is very tedious preperation and its pretty slow and boring work.. the results can be pretty rewarding though..
