NEQ6 Pro Sky-Watcher & EQM 35 GOTO Sky-Watcher

Looking back through last months photos I found this shot I did not see. In all my years taking photos at this spot I have never been this lucky. Trucks are always a problem at night as they head West along the highway below the Rocks. there high beams are so strong they ruin a shot as they come up the straight to these rocks then turn North. how lucky can you get the Rock is Perfectly lit from behind.

40 sec shot time. The Cats Paw Nebula @600mm

40 sec shot time Note is the next do Trifid nebula

4 min shot time

Not quite happy with the way the shot came out more learning.

close up of the snake

This photo is two 4 Minute ground exposure Untracked. ISO 3200 4 Minute sky exposure Tracked for more detail of the stars & Milky Way. ISO 800 And as a total beginner 2 hours in photo shop as a trial to see if it is worth doing this in future. Your thoughts is the effort worth it ????

150-600 mm lens on the tracker. the new way of finding South I got a 1 min shot here is 50 min Of shot time with all the Back files as well. I am finally quite happy to go out at night and take photos. I was not able to use the Laser pointer as we had French photographers who came to WA to enjoy our night skies. It took me 4 shot at 150 mm to find them. Enjoy. PIP is the milky way view find the Nebula's or look at the next photo.

Take II Night sky ISO 400 4 Min tracked Ground ISO 400 4 min Untracked with LLL. 30 min in Photo shop Look forward to the next . I think a very worth while tool in my night sky. is the shot from same spot with 600mm lens.

What can you do when you have no clouds clear skies but you are at home because its a full moon. This is very basic alignment and 33 shots taken on the tracker on moon mode and stacked together. Enjoy a Full moon taken just after it came up over the roof at 8pm. This is well worth looking at it full size on black.

At the end of the night I put the 14mm on the tracker and took the Milky Way which by this time was right above my head. this is 6 shots stacked together of 4 min exposure time each I went for ten but the dew build up was far too strong on the latters shots. A note I have replaced the laptop edit now I have my desktop back. Enjoy some of outer space.

This is 56 shots on the tracker plus all the Back files in this case I did 56 to match as well noise Vignetting and Dark frames. A better shot than the first up trial I did an indication the set up works. The difference between the photos is 8 months and Carina has tilted 90 degrees to the right from the first shot I took early in the year.

4 min Sky tracked 4 min ground untracked and LLL.

I got a little down hearted with the results from the Tamron 150-600. So I went old school so I purchased a 300mm F4 AF-S D lens and added my 1.4 converter on the back. this lens has no VR so not very good for day use but perfect for my manual use at night. you are looking at first set of photos In DX mode 630mm from my back yard (Yes my back yard) in the city in city lights. cant wait for Wednesday night to go bush. 19 shots stacked ISO640 30sec. Enjoy the Southern skies.

Second look at this group with the 300 prime lens. PIP first visit early in the year.

A very Faint Nebula , Still cant see the chicken though.

Right next to the Large Magellanic Cloud. This will have to be redone as It was too low and partially spoilt by Truck head light. Only just found out about it when I was going out.

Took some finding as I was in the flight path of planes and was not able to use the laser. I was foiled by the Rising Moon getting more than 20 shots.
