RE: Astronomical Imaging – Basics – 6

How did you track Saturn? Wouldn't the earth's rotation means that it would have moved quite a bit over five minutes? Also wondering what camera do you use. Do you have a live view of the video taken? My telescope is much lower mag so I don't think I can attempt something like this anytime soon unfortunately...

Hi @stabilowl I have an equatorial mount that tracks the stars. Here it is:

The camera was a QHY183c which uses the same sensor as a Sony RX100 IV.

I tried uploading a video to dtube but it keeps failing, will try later.
