DSI II imaging questions / issues

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi Gordon,
John is right. With M31, you have chosen a target that is WAY too big for your focal length. His suggestion about the Ring Nebula is a good one, because it is quite bright and its size would be good for your long focal length scope. Just to give you an idea about image scale, I attached a jpeg with your scopes approximate field of view compared to M31. Take a look. Your field of view is the small square in the middle of the galaxy. I'm sure you will do better with a smaller target.
Cheers,
Tyler
