Setup
150/750MM Newtonian
Astromod Canon 600D + Optolong Enhanced 2'
This image was taken from my bakckyard, i use a old lxd meade 75 and in the south i couldnt see any star from my backyard .
So i the first star i could see watching south was Rasalhague.
So i focused my scope on that star, and wait straight away to the Eagle Nebula ( thats a big gap from Rasalhague ).
I did take my first shot an BAM ! there it was on the right of the picture, i was happy i could see it but now i have to managed to keep it in the center of the frame.
So after the single shot i made i did take a look on the picture and see where the bright stars where hidden.
So i hoped i could find a star in the same area on my liveview, but the nebula was playing hard to get
.
I couldn't see any star on my liveview.
So i played with my handcontroller and listen to the engine of my mount how far it moved.
For in case it was out of my frame i needed to do the same in the oposite direction.
So the first time i try to do that tecnique, it was going out of my frame.
After every time i moved it a bit i taked a single shot to see where the nebula was.
it causted me 5 single shot to keep the nebula perfect in the middle of my frame.
MAAAAAAN i was happy to see it, perfectly in the middle of my frame.
I couldnt wait to take my first 60 sec subs and there it was, showing all the natural colours from the nebula and surrounding area aswell.
After all i am really happy with this picture
