Orion Stacked
Jan 26, 2016 18:48:03 #
I was able to get this series stacked and I think it turned out a little better.
First shot is the all new setup. Celestron 9.25" XLT, Orion StarShoot Autoguider, Celestron 9x50 90*
Finderscope and Lenovo Laptop, Nikon D600 IR Converted Camera and Celestron AVX Mount.
Orion was shot at 121 sec, ISO 200, f/10, 2350mm
I tried the Celestron Focal Reducer but like Jim before me I didn't have enough reach in my Focuser.
I need to eliminate the 90* Star Diagonal.

I don't know which is more purty. You're new rig or your results.
Really nice on both accounts Craig.

Very nice shot! For sure, get rid of the diagonal! It will cause nothing but problems.

Nice gear. I know somebody posted about this recently, and I have been wracking my brain trying to remember why it was, but I definitely remember a review which explained in detail why the 9.25 is *much* better than the 8 inch. It isn't just the slightly bigger light-gathering power of the bigger mirror either. I seem to remember that they rated it better than the 11 inch too. It's more of a 'natural' match to the electronics, or something like that - like, it doesn't have to stretch the pixels or . . .

Very nice. This is by far your imaging of this target.
Looks like you have the exact same 12V battery I am using from Harbor Freight Tools.

Thank you very much Phil I love this scope. In visual mode it seems like it gathers more than 33% more light. With my old 8" I don't think I would have been able to get a shot like that in harsh Moon light.Nice gear... I know somebody posted about this r... (show quote)

Thank you Jim H, I think this is going to be the scope for me. I just need to tweak my balance so I get better guiding. The 12V is great too, I can plug my Laptop into it also when I'm in the field.Very nice. This is by far your imaging of this target.

It certainly appears to me that your AVX is shrinking. :shock: :-o And wait a minute here... where is your SSAG camera?
That is a beautiful set-up Craig! WOWSERS! :mrgreen: (Did you catch the twin satellites in your image?)

Yes I caught 2 Satellites in one image and didn't notice until I hit Download in UHH. :oops:
Satellites in Orion are chronic it seams.
Here is a single from the Stack. Not nearly as good as the stack. But no Satellite Sonny.
