Re: [APML] First astrophoto
Hey Colin,
I think it's an excellent start. Picked up lots of goodies in only 5
minutes. I agree with Chris (?) that the BG could be darker. For a 50mm
lens, the stars look pretty soft. Either focus was a little off, or
maybe the tracking could have been better. I assume you let the ETX
alone during the exposure and didn't bother with any kind of guiding?
Makes me look forward to when I can do some piggyback work again, it
has been awhile.
