Hi all! Recently I ordered a very cheap effio-a camera from aliexpress (28.76€ including lens & shipping cost to Greece). I used it during the weekend on Evia island (100km from Athens). Skywatcher 102/500 refractor with fringe killer filter on EQ6 mount. The mount was connecte to my laptop with bluetooth module and controlled with HNsky freeware program. Sharpcap was used to autostack live the images. Contrast-gamma was adjusted with freeware fitswork in order to blacken the background. Any comments and questions are weclomed!

Great images and great example that you don't have to spend heaps to (a) control the mount without any cables; (b) get good color images which enhance the viewing of the Heavens. Thanks for posting.
If that's your scope in your accounts login picture ... wow!
Cheers

Thank you for your kind comments guys! I suspect the camera is the same as Revolution imager 2. I was lucky enough to purchase the last one before it was discontinued. howie1 the telescope in my login picture is the 25 inch Newall refractor of Pentele station of Athens National Observatory. Unfortunately it's not mine lol!
