I'm excited to get it done, will be a several month long project, building it in stages as my schedule allows. Likely won't get the warm room put in till the fall, but will still be functional. Not a whole lot more progress, finished the with the floor joists, stacked the rest of the pier (still needs sealant on sections above pier floor), and installed conduit for pier electrical and data to the eventual warm room location. Unfortunately injured my knee while painting the subflooring, so taking it easy for the time being. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/158414/62137615_2398251773741650_8731960278486351872_o__1__jpg-969217.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sweet! I wish I had open skies like that. I finally got my scope back, just need to get everything set back up and test out the optics.

I decided to show off my mad skillz
Here's 2 of the StarLink satellites zipping through the cup of the Big Dipper right after midnight this morning/last night (15 hours ago). A) I forgot about focus, couldn't see crap. 1 Second exposure at f/1.4 50mm ISO 6400 Most of the original picture is orange from light pollution, so I pulled the tinge out of it, nothing to do about focus now, though. I couldn't see these with binoculars, camera caught them, had it taking a 1 second exposure every second for 15 minutes. I'm jealous of those who accidentally get satellites in their 0.005° FOV shots, when I can't get even one in a 25°FOV when trying. 
Here it is with light pollution, from my driveway, where the sky looks black 60° up from Horizon with naked eye and binoculars. I could drive 20 minutes and get out of it entirely, but was just screwing around anyway so didn't put much effort into it, hence the focus. I mostly wanted to see if my nifty new intervalometer worked.  Camera aim was achieved by Heaven's Above, noting time they went through bucket of big dipper, pointed camera roughly in that vague direction, and hit Go for the whole duration of the 60 satellite string, this is the only frame where I caught more than one in frame at the same time out of those taken. |

Care to explain your setup? Any advice/information for a newbie?
I use my mum14 for stargazing and am fascinated, what you're able to see is on an entirely different level. How do I got about getting into it? |

Care to explain your setup? Any advice/information for a newbie? I use my mum14 for stargazing and am fascinated, what you're able to see is on an entirely different level. How do I got about getting into it? Images above were with a Canon 70D on a tripod w/50mm prime lens pointed sort of at big dipper, couldn't see through eyepiece, so sort of SWAG on aim by putting binoculars seeing big dipper on tripod, noting angles, then putting camera on and making it sort of match direction/angle. I was a bit high and to the right, but the big dipper did move more into frame after 15 minutes. The nicer photos in this thread are with mono cameras, filter wheels, 4"+ scopes (seems Schmidt-Cassegrain are common), and tracking adapter on equatorial mount, none of which I have. Start with a par of 10x50 or 20x80 binoculars for $200 or less and you can see a whole lot. Once you can spin around to different stars and aim, you'll get a better feel for aiming a telescope where you have not much of a clue what you might be looking for is located. I actually like binoculars better than my son's Celestron scope since both can see planets, his more clearly. Nebula and galaxies are slightly fuzzy and different colored dim stars, but visible with both telescope and binoculars. To get galaxy photos as seen in thread, a lot more light gathering is needed, and about the same amount spent on tracking and mount/tripod and camera in addition. So, $2-$6k seems to be the window from my casual browsing of prices. Though that upper number is the 'beginner setup" upper number, it's like saying an AR is $500 to $1500 depending, and nobody stops at just one $1500 rifle.

Zach540's observatory build pictures motivated me to do something today on my own dome project.
Today was a nice cool day, so I decided to dig the hole for the pier. The only place that works in my back yard is in the center of my garden, which when the dome is placed, will look pretty nice. I can then finish up the sandstone. The pier is 7" diameter x 7 foot long by roughly 1/4" thick. The pier is almost 4 foot in the ground, so I did not pour a footer, I really don't think it will need one. I will be pouring concrete around the outside of the pier and using a tamping bar to compact the concrete. I'll then fill the tube with concrete. After the concrete cures, I am going to tig on a round plate that I can bolt the pier plate for my mount to. This thing isn't going to go anywhere. It should be very stable.

My first test of the Skywatcher Adventurer Pro with a Canon 5D MKIII.
I was camping with a bunch of arfcom guys and was pretty well into the beer and whiskey but I still think this came out alright. 
I need to try fixing some of the noise issues, this camera will really need a master dark and bias to help. The other thing and this is going to end up being a problem is there is no way to dither with this mount, obviously its just a small travel mount and so it has limitations but dithering is an absolute must. There is a shit ton of correlation noise in this image. Overall I like it, but I need to find a way to dither. |

Yesterday I finished installing the pier. It took 400 lbs. of concrete. With the tube weighing over 200 lbs itself, I think I have plenty of weight in this mount.
While the concrete was curing, I built the pier plate system from two brake rotors. I used 1/2" all-thread for the leveling system, tapping, then tigging it into the top plate. The brake rotor fits perfectly into the top of the 7" tube with nearly no wiggle room. I tigged the pier plate to the tube itself, so this system should be extremely stable.

Are you looking for a way to dither without using a laptop connected to the ST-4 guiding input? That would have to be total manually controlled dither wouldn't it? It looks like the Skywatcher Adventurer Pro has a ST-4 auto guider input that allows RA only guiding. I use a free program called APT (Astrophotography Tool) for my image capturing, it has an option called APT Pulse Dithering for dithering mounts that are self guided (SkyWatcher StarAdventure, AstroTrac, etc.). But APT does require a computer and interface to the mount to run. If I remember you are using SGP for capture, does it have a dithering mode for self guided mounts? |

It just may not be possible, but damn it I'm going to try and work something out. I might post on cloudy nights to see if anyone else has thought of anything. |

I tried out my new pier mount last night and shot the Dumbbell Nebula in LRGB+Ha
Since it is a weekday and I had to get up for work in the morning, I set a camping cot out by the mount so I could sleep and not have the mount/telescope walk off (I live in a nice neighborhood, but you never know). It was nice and cool 50° out. I got roughly 3.5 hours on the Dumbell nebula and a good sleep under the stars at the same time. Shot with the following.

It's a very bright object, so no special technique needed. EXIF for that shot is 600mm, 1/160, f/9, ISO 400. D500 and the Tamron 150-600. I do shoot from a tripod, mirror-up remote, with electronic front curtain. The EFC is probably overkill, and shooting handheld isn't hard, but I like the tripod. I then run it through Lightroom for crop, levels, sharpness, noise, etc. Here's the frame out of the camera:  Moon 20190611 OOC by FredMan, on Flickr

And I tried for another Jupiter shot, but that damn moon is nearly full and not far off the azimuth to Big Red.
But I did pick up a couple moons tonight...  Jupiter 20190614 by FredMan, on Flickr

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I've got time to fiddle, I haven't delved into lightroom for much of anything, I don't even know if the version I have can do stacking or not. I think it's 7, the newest one that doesn't need subscription/cloud/online. The subscription/online is the reason I don't have photoshop, that must be very desirable, as the places that sell old versions want a ton for anything newer than CS3 that doesn't need to be online/subscription based. |

Tried another one of these today but some mid afternoon clouds ruined my shot.

You could maybe have the clouds seem yellowed/illuminated in the area the sun is behind them so it's a different effect, make it part of the picture? |

I pay $10/month for the PS/LR subscription. For me it is money very well spent. YMMV. Quote HistoryQuoted:
