leechacks Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I woke early on Friday 9th October around 1.30 am and Orion was just beginning to come into view, so I grabbed my canon 450d and tripod and set up to take some images. As my tripod isn't tracking I'm was limited to 2.5 sec exposures at 1600 iso. 10 lights, 5 darks an 5 flats. Stacked in sequator and a tiny tweak in ps. I looking into getting an omegon mintrack lx2 as i can be portable with it without the need for power or batteries and has good reviews. I cant afford the skywatcher sky adventurer as out of my price range. So here are my first attempts at Orion on my dslr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
