My second time, when I tried to shoot m42 only with hand guiding. Learned one thing: motor is must :D
I could only 20 seconds maximum keep the turn steady enough to get sharp picture, but its hard....
(Sky Watcher 150/750 hand guided, EQ3-2 in city with some pollution around :D )
Skywatcher 90mm Mak Cass
I just love this Mak
For the size,it simply is hard to get any better than this.
This was done through clouds, a very turbulent sky, yet the quality is still decent.

Using the new Skywatcher Adventure Mount. This is a mini EQ head for tracking the rotation of the sky only and, thus, is extremely simple to use and operate. It includes a polar alignment scope standard.
You can buy different kits, but I spent a few more bucks and got the Skywatcher Adventure "Star Adventure" that has a vixen mount for a telescope, but this vixen mount has an ingenious cutout so you can use the polar scope!!! This allowed me to mount my camera and then polar align. I used an iphone app to help me align.
Orion Constellation test, 60 images x 1minute, stacked in DPP, on a 10d infrared modified, Celestron UHC front mounted on 28-105mm lens at 28mm. Not a hard test, but pretty good for a first night out.
Internal reflections up the wazzu. But hey I've got well over 30 scared at night lights in my alley.

I made a solar filter for my SkyWatcher 900mm scope, using a Baader Planetarium film and then attached my Canon 550D.
During the eclipse it was cloudy, and we couldn't see anything, but the sun started to burn through it towards the end. I started trying to take photos, but could see nothing but black, so it took a while to find usable settings.
Once I discovered I could take photos that weren't completely one shade I started trying to line the scope up to actually find the sun. This took ages, but the sequence of photos here show what happened when I finally got it.
I'd missed almost the entire thing, but the moon was still taking a tiny bite out of the edge, so I didn't cry.
I could not focus the camera, sadly. It only adjusts so far and that proved not to be far enough. I'm not sure if that means astrophotography is out for me or if I can maybe change some cheap parts to improve it.
It's also not clear how much the home made filter affects this. Despite my best efforts, the solar film did end up a bit warped and wrinkly!
