As this is a single frame example, I am posting in the (no stacking) board of this forum, but I shall post up a second video which does use stacking, in the (stacking is ok) board of this forum. So this automated process can do both single shots as well as stacked.
Aim: The aim is to show having fun with stuff which isn't normally used for live EAA. Another tool in the toolkit which may come in handy for anyone using any equipment doing EAA and one day finds some situation where the info in this video springs to mind and may help them out. It shows a fully automated end-to-end EAA process using EOS Utilities and Lightroom 6CC. In that vein of having fun ... they are not faint objects ... M8, M20, M21, but they show what can be done.
This video does not show the actual setup of the automated process ... I shall produce another video which shows that. This video just shows the live in-field capture of single frame, and the other video on the other (stacking ok) board will show the live capture of a stack of four 8 sec frames.
Site:
Field at back of a tennis center with all lights blazing on the 4 courts as they had a social night on (we hid in the shadow of a single story building). Field is half way between Brisbane city and Gold Coast city with that corridor having 2.5 million population. Skyglow in the South (Gold Coast) was almost as bad as the LP coming from the tennis center which was to the North of our setup. Moon was quarter phase about 20 degree's above the Western horizon. On top of that very heavy dew with a puddle of water on the ground which had run off my dew protector "box" which protects my laptop from such bad situations! By midnight it was fog, unfortunately - couldnt see the car parked 10 metres away from us!
Equipment:
8" f/5 Newtonian on HEQ5 PRO mount, unguided.
Canon 700d, unmodded, no filters.
2009 Macbook Pro bootcamped running WIN7, EOS Utilities, DSS_Live, Lightroom 6CC
No darks, bias or flats.
Below is link to a 1min 14 sec live HD desktop capture showing a single 30 second iso800 frame of M8/M20/M21
