First night
First night was more of a systems check to make sure everything works as intended than anything else. I still don't know what I'm doing, lotsa reading to do.
Equipment:
Camera was mounted on t-ring and I began shooting 20 10-sec exposures at ISO 800.
After that I shot 10 10-sec darks with the dustcap on the scope. ISO 800.
Then I shot 10 Bias frames at 1/4000 shutter speed. ISO 800
Moved everything back inside, stretched a white tshirt over the scope opening, pointed it at the ceiling light and shot 10 Flat frames in Av mode.
Moved RAW images to PC, registered, stacked and processed in DSS.
Moved processed file to PS and followed this Tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9MeGLiAk9A&p=1EA349A70CEB7265&index=1&playnext=5
Completed picture isn't pretty, but it proves that everything works. Pic in next post.
