The Double Cluster with my New Meade ETX-80
I just got my new scope in and was able to take it out last night for my first test run using it as my astrophotography telescope. I have to say, i love it! In spite of the fact that it took me 4 hours to get it aligned. Hopefully that'll come down as i get more familiar with the equipment.
I started off easy, pointing at the double cluster, nice point sources of light. I did take some of Andromedia, but i need to work on my alignment some more before that bears any fruit... but i was able to catch a few 5 second subs without trails...
Here is my double cluster shot, with multiple different exposures (between 10-5 seconds) and dark-frames subtracted in registax. for my first test, i think it turned out pretty good.
thanks for looking,
Kerberus
