glad to see dithering worked, have you done any kind of background extraction?
Hmm, for almost an hour and a half I feel like you should be seeing more nebulosity.
bortle 6
-7
idk why i dont see any nebulosity
Odd, I live in a bortle 8 and was able to see some nebulosity in my eight minute exposure. Your scope seems to be collimated, maybe dew or fog on your mirror, or something wrong with the camera?
(granted it's not a lot but somehow it's more than this)
thats the same amount of nebulosity i saw visually through a 10" dob so probably dew or fog
dew??
never noticed that
my scope is on my balcony
yeah, if your mirror is cold and the air is warm (or vice versa), moisture can condensate on the mirror, and the image quality will be reduced quite significantly
camera is canon R50 apsc sensor not modded
i have like opened balcony so tempature of air is same outside and inside
nvm today im gonna have clear night so i will watch out for that
thanks for advice
Was the moon or sun out during this?
I might be hallucinating but I think I can see a slight bit of nebulosity on the bottom left star!
idk whats wrong maybe i would try to shoot subs with ISO below 800
maybe there is more noise than nebulosity
but I need to upgrade my setup a lot new telescope smthing like sw 150pds heq5 and mono camera
Lowering the iso and taking more subs would be a good starting point
I watched some graphs about readout noise seems very high at ISO 3200
