[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 741102, member: 46724"] [MENTION=11881]Moab Man[/MENTION] Great shots! I tried to go out last night but was chased back inside by a nursery of trash pandas and a wandering skunk. I did get some shots of sky and practiced polar alignment, but without an autotracker, I really dont know the sky well enough to find what I want to shoot, even with Sky Guide and Stellarium on my phone showing me what I am supposed to see. Wide angles work great and easy to point and shoot, but once the telephoto goes on, its a best guess kind of thing. My best guess is its all about the practice and the patience. What do you see out of the camera? is there an indication you got what you want or do you need to stack and process dozens of images before the Nebula and galaxies pop out? Do you take your shots in your yard or is there travel required? What kind of autotracker do you use? PHD2 for software? What about stacking and processing? How do you tote everything around if you do need to travel? Sorry for all the questions, thanks for sharing your shots. [/QUOTE]
