So... After installing an
RA drive on my EQ5 I thought I'd attach my
DSLR and give it a go with some
AP. Quite some years ago I used to have an NEQ6 and used
StarTools etc. The "lowly" EQ5 is not bad... I polar aligned it fairly quickly and tracking with the single
RA drive seems to be very accurate.
Taken with the 80ED using
APT with a Canon 70D.
ISO 800, 30 second exposures. No darks nor light frames :p
80% of 21 frames stacked in
DSS (I have forgotten everything here and going mostly by the recommendations in the software...)
StarTools - I have forgotten everything plus there's a whole bunch of new stuff since I last used it. (completely lost). Anyway, after clicking numerous random buttons I managed this...
Once I've got some time to read up and go through tutorials, no doubt I can make a better job of it!
