what a great amount of hard work to do. admire your persistence

[@DenkoAstronomy]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@duendepiola6742]

amazing. have you tried other deep sky objects with this technique? If so, could you upload a video with the images?

[@DenkoAstronomy]

Thanks, I tried this technique, but the exposure time is much lower in other images, because it was really hard for me to catch even 5minutes of data in a one night.

How about m51 on my 55-250 lens? Am goingto try asap, was abke to star hop however obv didnt show uo in subs 😢

[@DenkoAstronomy]

Hello, I think you should be able to capture it but you won’t see any amazing details because it’s a small target. Try to capture some bigger objects like NGC 7000 the North America Nebula in Cygnus. Good luck!

Hello i have a 6 inch dobsonian, i am thinking in buying a high quality ZWO camera, i want to take live videos of galaxies not astrophotography. Is it possible without tracking? Just adjustint by hand when the object moves

[@DenkoAstronomy]

Hi! I don’t think you will see much without a tracking mount. A lot of galaxies are really faint and they are sometimes hard to spot even in tracked 2 second live view. Clear skies!

@@DenkoAstronomy yeah thought so, i am interested in buying a skywatcher 150p virtuoso with tracking to do EAA

[@Michael-se6om]

Wow, that is amazing. How long did it take to stack all those images?

[@DenkoAstronomy]

Thanks! It took ages!

[@imlutrax8777]

How you did that?

[@DenkoAstronomy]

I took a lot of pictures through my telescope with a DSLR and then stacked them into one. After editing in Gimp this was my final image. I can record a tutorial, if you want?
