My little window...
Re: My little window...
After many moons of my tracker gathering dust, itchy finger again...
It's amazing... stop doing this for a while and almost have to re-learn everything all over again!
Anyway, just took a few shots for fun and this was the result.
Lights: 8
Dark: 5
Bias: 5
10-sec exposure, iso 800, f4.0
Can just make out NGC 2451 on the right with cPup (orange star) in the mix.
Nowhere near good since I gotta master my barndoor tracker again..... just itchy fingers
Top part is my utility room window (forgot to close it.....)

Re: My little window...
Nice attempt and shot! Keep it up! NGC2451 was naked eye fuzzy object during my last Malaysia trip. So looking forward to seeing it again through a scope.

Now I'm kindda inspired to hunt down that elusive motor to drive the barndoor to get more accurate shots! I keep putting it off though....

Wahahahahaha!!! Who says DSLRs are only good for wide-field astronomy without scopes?!
I took these today because I noticed something in my pics 2 days ago but didn't pay much attention to it...
