M45 for a change with D800

Though first that pics were goners. Polar alligment was so bad but they turned out to be decent after all.
I try to get something out of Horse head tonight and maybe M51. Weather should be fine in here.

Nice pic! Good to see something besides M42 and Orion around here. Got a decent bit of nebulosity for just 90sec. Got a couple of stealth alien spacecraft too, I see
Very nice image indeed.
Like the way your Newtonian produces these "stars" around your stars ;-)
You're lucky you have these nice conditions going. Here in Holland the sky is gray in 50 different colours :-( every day.
Can you also trie to get M31, or NGC 224 as you wish....Probably way to wide for your Newton telescope to get nice framing around the gallaxy. I used 420mm last time I tried (whitout tracking) and it was framed nicely, only could not get enough exposuretime to make all of the galaxy vissible due to earth rotation. The only thing I saw was the center of the galaxy.
Keep up the good work and will check out your next post for sure
(PS. I have to have one of these EQ mounts myself ;-)

Thanks, it could be much better though. Maybe longer exposures next time with less ISO to get those very faint veils visible.
I have some old M31 and NGC7000 images taken with 300mm. I can try to stack those if you like to see them.
You should also consider HEQ5 pro models. They maybe the sweet spot - not too expensive and yet very stable. Of course periodic error exists on very different level than in >1k€ mounts but they're generally considered good enough to most imaging purposes.

you must have some real dark sky there to get that result with 90 sec exposures.
