["Robert Schulz" <franz.schulz@chello.at>]

Hi all,

 

I think its of interest for everyone who takes astrophotos:

Here a simple webcam operates as a camera (only 30$) with change to take long exposures but with NO cooling.

131 images (30" exp. each) are summed up with software MIRA and corrected for dark current.

I take it from a light polluted place with stars of 4m are visible.

Telescope: 8" Schmidt Cass. with f/10

 

best regards
