Lukman, we are all learning, and no matter how much you know, there's always something else to learn about... so learning never stops... (practice makes perfection though)

Next time you are outside imaging the Moon, try different exposure times, to see which one you like best. (different phases will have different brightness levels, and therefore you'll have to adjust your exposures accordingly...)

Looking forward to your next shots! wink
Keep it up! 8)

Damian, you know that you just opened a BIG can of worms, don't you? 8)
Many of us won't get any sleep now that you've brought this first MARS shot to the forum... wink

Excellent shot my friend. Beautiful colors and detail already showing.
I can certainly tell that this will be a very exciting year for Mars Imaging...


Thanks for sharing! (and keep'em coming!)

To the ones that built a concrete pier... question

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
I'm finally finishing up with the paperwork/permits to start building my own roll-off roof observatory in my backyard... (light polluted, but I guess "something" is better than "nothing"!) wink

Question:

How did you secure the Sonotube in place, in order to fill it up with concrete?
I'm planning on using an 8" diameter tube for the pier, in order to support the 10" LX-200GPS. (comments/advise always welcome) 8)


Thank you for your attention, and clear skies!

David, check this out! (a good friend of mine flocked his Celestron 9.25, and made a step by step guide, should be close to what you have to do)
