Photography talk , post up your images.

Some new gear, that will guarantee cloudy nights for the next month or so...Just a clip on to the existing rig.. Its that little tiny telescope nearest with its own little camera on the back..now that talks to the tiny computer on top and instructs the mount to make tiny corrections to tracking by watching the field of view for any deviation, whilst the main scope and camera collect the images..theory is I should be able to go well past 60 seconds per frame.. When the clouds clear.... Just thought you might find it interesting.. If I get stellar results, Ill post em up. If I don't you will hear no more of it...

This needs serious support. How heavy is it? What tripod do you use?!?

This needs serious support. How heavy is it? What tripod do you use?!?

Its been upgraded a bit since I took that one, It now looks like this.. Carbon fibre tripod, the whole rig is about 18kg, fits in those three cases for easy transport to dark skies.

But its not all about dark skies, with one of these you can go places nobody else does.

Like here, absolutely beautiful for a swim on a hot day..
