Saturn with the OM-3, 100-400 mkII and mc-20
Not as good as a telescope but I’m blown away that I was able to do this last night.

Triangulum help
Ive I recorded this on my dwarf mini with 60 gain, 299 60 second exposures with my astro filter. Utilized stellar sudio to denoise and lightroom for finishing touches. I live in a bortle 7 area, is this the max detail im able to reach under my conditions? Ive taken a good amount of nebulae and have an andromeda galaxy picture with more detail and similar times and conditions.

NGC 281 – Pacman Nebula from Thornborough Henges
First proper attempt at NGC 281 (the Pacman Nebula), captured tonight from the dark skies at Thornborough Henges, North Yorkshire, UK.
DWARF 3 in EQ mode, using the Duo-Band filter with 15-second exposures. This is 1 hour 35 minutes of integration.
Really pleased with how much of the red emission and dark dust structure came through, especially around the central star cluster. The darker Thornborough sky definitely made a difference compared with imaging from home in Leeds.
Nothing exotic equipment-wise — just the little DWARF 3 sitting beside a 5,000-year-old henge on a bloody freezing October night. 😂🌌
Target: NGC 281 / Pacman Nebula
Telescope: DWARF 3
Exposure: 15 sec
Integration: 1h 35m
Filter: Duo-Band
Location: Thornborough Henges, North Yorkshire, UK

Was this the milky way, or just thin clouds?
Got home late last night and the stars were so clear and beautiful, so I took a picture on my iphone with -2 exposure. I can’t tell if this was just a thin cloud or if i managed to capture a low-def image of the milky way?

Star gazing
Hi,
Does anybody know a free app for Star gazing and knowing what I'm looking at when I look up? I know the apps are free to download, but I don't wanna pay a fee to use the app.
Thanks.

Celestron HD Edge 8
Hi all, I haven’t had a telescope since I was 10 but like all of you have continued to be completely captivated by the stars and all that is out there.
I bought the scope in the title and have had moderate success. I can’t seem to find any much instruction that blends the basic camera mechanics/setup with the same for the scope that will take me to the next level…
Using a T6 rebel and the best thing I’ve gotten was a few subpar lunar pics.
I’m pissed at myself for not knowing enough to get the most out of this setup. I feel like I should’ve bought a seestar for 25% of the price. I see the long exposures it produces and just kick myself. I’d estimate I’ve spent maybe 15-20 hours getting bug bitten in SWFL and watched another 3-4 hours of YouTube but still am pretty lost…
Any info is much appreciated!

NGC 7793 | 95 mins | Bortle 8 Southern Hemisphere 🥲
I am planning to buy one of those SUV tents. And then will plan trips out of the city so that I can get better quality, longer times, and different bands as well.

Pacman Nebula !!
Decided to go after the Pacman Nebula whilst in Greece recently and carried it on once back in the UK this week.
Total of about 3.5 hrs of data, stacked using StackingWizard and processed using AstroWizard.
Hope you like !!
