Latest Takahashi Epsilon Astrograph images
(The first 2 images are somewhat out of focus, and star images are trailed. This is due to the EQ6 SkyScan mount being only eyeball set-up, the pole is off to the left a bit. Once I have set up the S.T.A.R 2000 with the MX5C & guidescope, some mis-alignment will be easily corrected. I will use Star ATLAS PRO as the planetarium program which will drive the EQ6 GoTo OK and will be really good when I replace the SkyScan with the FS2 from the Alhena. Another project is to provide 'DSLR Focus' on the laptop and a cable to the Canon 350D camera. The Epsilon produces 10 micron stars across a very flat field when correctly focussed.)
