Tarantula nebula NGC2070

Tarantula nebula NGC2070
In contrast to the shots you see that are around this is so bright its less than half the Exposure time. The other shots are 5 min this is 2min. Huge difference.

The confusion of follow my lead this is the way you have to Collimate to this is how I do it. two sets of eyes that show the same but one says adjust RIGHT the other says adjust LEFT. Carlos only use the two eyes to adjust the Secondary mirror not looking at the main mirror , then puts the single eye in the you see just how you adjust to the the main mirror correct. It adjust one do the other then back and forwards till all are correct between the Secondary mirror and the main mirror. not at all how I was told or shown.


For the very first time I have better detail better clarity and a much simpler method.

Not to discount the technicalities on taking this one, it is another wonderful nebula from you Steve. Love the central spiral effects of the star cloud.

Well done and enjoy the rest of the week. Herb

It helps to get the right info from the start, I came close to ditching the scope selling it and using nikon lens as the replacement would have been 6K . for the very first time I see this delivering just as it should it really helps to get the right info on some thing so complicated.
