[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 373323, member: 9252"] I used to have a telescope and did some astrophotography - I sold the kit after I got married as it spent too much time gathering dust. As already mentioned, an EQ mount is essential for anything near 30 seconds. I used a CCD camera, and basically recorded MPEG clips, which were then broken into frames and stacked (Registax - [url=http://www.astronomie.be/registax/]RegiStax- Free image processing software[/url]) For anyone who is slightly interested, it is well worth getting even a basic set up - I still remember the moment I first saw Saturn's rings with my own eyes using a £350 telescope! (Celestron SLT130 - No EQ mount, but enough for our solar system) [/QUOTE]
