A few live stack EAA examples

#1

Post by CharLakeAstro »


Hi fellow Searchers
Below I have uploaded some "screenshots" directly from SharpCap, during a recent EAA session. Each were done in LiveStack mode... exposure duration listed. The point of this is NOT a pretty picture, but rather, to show those who might be thinking of trying EAA, what a LiveStack typically looks like from inside the house. The mosquitos went hungry.... I find EAA is a lot of fun when I don't have bandwidth for a full imaging session... I can spend a few hours looking at stuff, quickly pack it up and be done.

This EAA session was using a William Optics GT71 (71mm) refractor, ASI294MM-Pro camera, Flat 6Aiii 0.8x reducer/flattener. Note that I adjusted the display zoom feature of SharpCap to frame the targets... due to the different image scale for each.

Very nice. I do lots of gear testing in my backyard since I have multiple scopes/mounts/cameras/flatteners/etc...and I always do a bit of SharpCapPro livestacking. It's really quite fun.
Beautiful images, BTW.
