Hi Everyone from Blakeney, Gloucestershire


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

Just wanted to say hello my name is Ken and I’m new to astrophotography having bought my imaging rig in February this year. I have been observing for many years using a Meade LX200 GPS 12” scope but now my new passion is imaging (if only the weather would listen).

 

The imaging setup is:

William optics GT81 iv refractor

William Optics 6A iii flattener

Altair Astro 269C Pro TEC OSC

Guiding with ZWO 120mm Mini and WO 50mm uniguide scope.

EQ6 Pro mount.

 

I know I have a long way to go and lots of YouTubing to do yet 😃 so if do ask a dumb question please forgive me.

 

Best regards

Ken

I have never attempted Pixinsight, seen 3 demos and decided it is not for me.  I use Photoshop.

I’m 25 days into the trial and still have no idea what I’m doing! Photoshop is a much more intuitive tool once you have a work flow mapped out!

Pixinsight is fantastic once you learn the workflow. I have watched hundreds of videos, from beginner to complex, and I'm still learning. Here is a great introduction to Pixinsight for beginners, this video shows how to calibrate images. Both LRGB and NB are covered. His other videos show the full work flow from calibrating to final images.
