Astrophotography

February 18, 2009: La Azotea

Antonio in La AzoteaThe night of February 18 to February 19 of 2009 was one of our first attempts to make some astrophotography with some degree of success. We were able to make to CG-5 mount to work, we made a polar alignment with EQAlign and autoguiding worked properly.

As we didn't have too much time, we decided to take a photo of M42 (yeah, so original). A few days earlier, Antonio tried to make a similar photo, but he only took 2 different exposure photos and we stacked them rapidly (so the result was not good).
