After capturing the North America Nebula, i pointed the scope to a random region high up in the sky, which was suggested in my astronomy software.
The bad thing is, there is a bug in the software: When you change target, all the images are named after the old target (NGC7000 in this case), so i have no idea which object i was recording.

EDIT: This is why the color balancing is not really good. If i knew the object code, i could correct colors automatically. I'm not really skilled at this.

I'm satisfied with the scope. Seems to be the perfect hobby for bear markets Grin

ooooo

oooooo

oooooo

[raises hand]

.. I have a question.

me, me, me..

hahahaha

Earlier you mentioned that there might be ways to geolocate your location based on your pictures. Do you still fear that sort of thing, or is it adequately sufficient to attempt to protect ur lil selfie by merely NOT disclosing the time that your photos were taken?.. presumptively the ban of your longitude might be easier to figure out than your latitude.. not that I am trying to break your opsec.. and if you want me to delete this post prior to anyone citing my profound insights, then please let me know if I have gone too far.. with my level of geniusness and giving hints to bad guys.. Cry

Maybe we could give the solving of such problem over to fillippone since he seems to have a kind of knack for figuring out locations based on seemingly random pics provided by peeps (unless it is an inside job?) in these here parts?

The "Deep Sky" pictures aren't a problem. You'd need zillions of more megapixels to compute axis offsets and get rough geolocation results out of angular differencies when you shoot pictures of bright objects many lightyears apart.
What's more sensitive in terms od OpSec are wide angle pictures of the milky way or zodiac signs, including a horizon with some possible details.
One could calculate roughly when he knows the exact time of day and timezone, because elevation and direction, also angle of objects relative to the ground and horizon are given over the course of a year, even more so if solar planets are included in the pics. Basic astronomy knowledge wouldn't be enough, but if someone knows someone, you know, you can never know...

Next one? Wink

Beautiful pics and I hope they have an update soon.
Would love to have a scope like that to gaze at the stars

Even if you had a telescope like OOM, knowing how to use it does not seem to be any kind of walk in the park.. that's for sure.

Yes, that was what i though when i bought my first telescope eight years ago, just to sell it again a few months later. You have to put in some good effort to get results that keep you going at it Roll Eyes
