I've recently got a tracking mount (Vixen GPD2 + SynScan) for my Skywatcher Heritage 150p (150mm f/5). Here's the first light with my camera (Oly Pen E-PL5 m4/3) on it (with a 2x Barlow), Omega Centauri.
I'm still practicing getting it aligned (no use of polar scope at -1.3° lat!), and there was a reflection in my Barlow which took some post-processing acrobatics. Will make another try when the clouds clear...
A shot of “the green comet” C/2022 E3 (ZTF) through my telescope (6” travel Dobson) from last week with Mars in the picture. About 100 0.77 second exposures over a time period of about 8 minutes (manually tracking every few images), stacked with alignment on the comet, therefore Mars and stars show trails (and some of my manual realignments visible as gaps in the trails).
Processed mostly in @Siril_Official with a little bit of final touch-up in @GIMP
Kenyan gov: “Hey it’s so easy to die here, so let’s make it even easier🤡(instead of, you know, improving something or whatever)”
Opinions on GMOs aside, what kind of statement is this??
