Hi Carsten! hehe...for Jupiter right now it's the wrong time of the year - I'll try to get Jupiter later in Nov./Dec.;-)

Thx...and yes - "webcam" are superior to DSLR do to high frame-rates - 60 to 120fps and with that and stacking you can compensate the atomspheric turbulences and achieve better results. kind regards,

Hi Russ!Yeah...I wanted to avoid the "focal lenght" stretch...but mathematically you're right.You can calculate every diameter of the sensor if you look at the lens of your digital camera where the...

Greetings! Yup - could not have done it better as Dave. I showed how it looks with the D800E and with a "cheap" webcam (still costs between $ 200-500). You could see it in an other way too - it's...

Greetings! Thx - you almost used exactly the words I would have written to answer the question. ;-)

Hi! Hehe...yes indeed - but as stated in this old post - you get better results with a small-sensor webcam-style camera then using a full-frame DSLR. Here we go:

Hi Kevin!Size as large as 3times the Earth!Will have to use quite a lot of cleaning fluid to get it clean. ;-)

Hehe...you got it! Maybe next week we should be lucky to have one (1) partly sunny day. ;-)

Greetings! So, as there has been almost no sunshine in the last two weeks (in central Europe)- here a picture to show you how it looks like:;-) Sunspots in May 2013  Made with D800E in RAW,...

Good Morning Louis! As always - great capture(s) of the mood - and fine post-processing. kind regards,

Greetings! haha...actually I do have the same impression - since getting that telescope it seems to me that I do not longer live in a part of the country where it is advertised: "more then 300...

Ok...I see I misunderstood your post...hmmm - so with the settings I provided your Live View Screen does not change exposure if you change the shutter speed? It should do - if I change the shutter,...

Hi Starman! Hmm...should not be that difficult:1) turn off Auto-Iso2) Set to MANUAL mode3) mirror lock-up4) camera on tripod5) set iso100, f5.6 and start with 1/250sAnd just change the exposure...

Greetings! I've put many of them online on pbase:http://www.pbase.com/bountyhunter/astrophotosTake a look... kind regards,

Hi Russ! Wow...thx - as I stated...I just started a month ago and had about 8 occassions to use it.I am looking forward to use autoguiding to shoot nebulas and galaxies. Cheers,

Greetings! I presume an APS-C sized sensor with M-mount.

Greetings! So - 1 month ago I bought my very first telescope - a 10inch Newtonian Reflector and was able to use it about eight times (due to weather conditions and spare time). All photos made...

Hi Khanna! Yeah - it IS difficult to focus...best way so far that worked for me: Using Live-View and magnifying the view so I could see some sun-spots and then I focused. Due to its "crop"-sensor a...
