First Attempt at Imaging

Hi All,

I tried my hand at imaging last night and here is the result.

Taken with Neststar 11 and an unmodified Phillips Toucam Pro, stacked using registack 4.

I tried to get a bigger image using a 3x barlow but couldn't get the focus correct - lots more practice I think.

Any tips/comments appreciated.

That's an excellent first attempt.

Not much wrong with it that I can see.

Keep imaging and you will keep improving - that's the best tip I can give to you right now.

Thanks Dave

well done,
very good image excellent first attempt .just one tip go out when you can and image ,image and image one thing to remeber is practice makes perfect images

ps
if you need any help just ask.

Thats an excellent 1st go!

Did you go to a dark site or was it in light pollution?
How about IR or IV filters, they can help get a better image.

That's a great image in it's own right, let alone as a 1st image! Great stuff!!
Best advice: practice, practice, practice! Some nights you'll get better images; other nights the seeing will only give muck. Overall though, your understand of the process and your techniques will improve.

Regards,
