OK. I keep telling myself I’m not going to do this anymore. It’s just too much trouble and too much expense and there are people doing this who are FAR, FAR, FAR, FAR better at it than I, but I just can’t control myself.
This is an attempt to see what this Orion 80ED may be capable of. Other than being out of focus, having an extremely dirty CCD chip (and no flat field processing), and saturating out the detector on almost all the exposures, this ones pretty bad. I’m only posting it because I have yet to see any attempts at this type of photography through this scope and I figured someone might be interested. If I keep the resolution low maybe you can’t tell just how bad this really is.
I can tell that someone is going to be able to take excellent Astrophotos through this scope.
