Taken with my Vaonis Vespera scope.

(360) 10s exposures automatically stacked within the scope's software.

Veil Nebula

Iris Nebula

The previous images were relatively small in relation to the frame size so I cropped them down. I also cropped the Veil Nebula image a bit. The NA nebula image is full size.

Western Veil Nebula

North American Nebula

Yes, it auto focuses as well.

This scope is fully automated. Exposure length, number of subs, stacking etc is all done automatically without my intervention. I believe they all use 10 sec exposures but have differing number of subs based on how dim the object is.

I recently bought this.:

I've taken a few photos with it to try it out.

Triangulum Galaxy
Orion Nebula
Andromeda Galaxy

I purchased a new dew heater for my scope just before Stellafane and installed it at my site Thursday afternoon. It proved quite useful when a thick mist descended onto the hill where I was set up.

Took this during Stellafane on 7/31/22. Imaging details are in my signature line.

It's been so long, I wasn't sure I remembered how.
