I can't believe it....you really deserve the name of "astronom"!!!

Any word from me seem not being much enough.

And right now I am thinking that I also have a QHY 8 PRO which I still didn't used as much...:(

CONGRATULATIONS !

@gabycorban Thanks Gaby, When I look back at this my processing was very poor. It's a steep learning curve (at least it is for me...lol) I intend to put together another video clip soon

All the best and clear skies

could you tell me a little about the tmb 80?,i'm thinking of getting one and would like to know the pros and cons(is the aperture an issue?)

[Broertje2005]

Wauw, what a great great great pictures. Nice presentation ;-)

In a few days maybe i'll buy a LX200GPS 12" to ;-)

Make a step from my 6" Meade.

really nice, im getting a telescope soon, thinking of getting a meade or celestron, hopefully 10-12 inch aperature. Astrophotography seems like a really cool hobby to get in to. Love the video, neat images, keep 'em coming.

@turbo399 Terry, I want to broadcast with QHY8Pro, on nightskiesnetwork but the flash player wont conect to the cam. Tried to use Many cam software but..no success . Qhy8Pro is giving .fit formats and eventually I have to convert each .fit to jpeg so that Manycam can see it. That means kind of quasi-real time. HAve you an ideea, please ? Thank you very much !
