Equipment:

Maksutov Cassegrain 5'' scope. Canon DSLR 550D in 640x480 video crop mode 60fps. Stacked with Autostakkert2

Description:

Following the article about planetary imaging with a DSLR I tried to see what can be done with a real small scope (5'') and a DSLR. A very portable setup. I was surprised with the nice result I got, the 5'' scope works nice and the 640x480 crop video mode provides extra maginification, low noise and very nice resolution. Hope you like it!
