After looking at Saturn and a few choice DSO's I Polar Aligned the scope and let him take a photo. I focused and framed the Eta Carinae nebula, found a guidestar and showed him how to make corrections. Here's his 30 minutes of fame - the very first astro pic he has ever took. Guiding not bad for a first timer! Next time I'll stick a Barlow in and he should have much better quality!

Its the setup that's hard. Great image, btw! -------------------- Vixen SXD Vixen ED80Sf Hutech 350D STI Stiletto Meade 2080 Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
