Here are few quick captures from this years ECVAR star party. The only Live viewing video star party in the USA. I think I added them correctly. he he he All of these were done with my Explore Scientific Carbon Fiber 152 triplet. Using a Infinity camera at around f/5.5 . Ioptron iEQ 45 mount. I was moving quickly between targets so did not spend a lot of time letting the software stack. 5 to 10 stacks at most. Nothing over 90 seconds except M20. It was 2 minutes. The Infinity has a nice image up on first exposure and just cleans it up with the stacks really nice. IMHO it does not in most cases even need to stack, but I will admit it does help make for a purtty picture in the end. LOL I do wish I had balanced my mount better. While I had a dead on polar alignment I did not balance it well. It was an after thought that I had a lighter load with out my 80 mm solar scope on top. DUH JIM DUH. Still was a nice gathering, star party and everyone had a nice time. Great viewing for all of us.
