Now this is one you won't see from here. NGC2070 (AKA the Tarantula Nebula) has a declination of about -69 degrees and is located on the edge of the Large...
George, I like yours better...(just kidding) But what a neat idea...image things that almost all of us have never seen! Like a virtual trip 'down-under'......
That's a beauty George! Congratulations on pulling out some nice detail in your short Ha exposure sequence -- dramatic composition. Also, nice job of...
That is great. What a beautiful shot. It is awesome we can now image beautiful southern hemisphere objects from the comfort of our own home. Isn't technology...
That is a beauty George. For 25 minutes you did really well. Kirby _____ From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
I've had a problem in converting grayscale TIFF images (from hydrogen alpha imaging), which are 16 bit, to 8 bit JPEG. Normally with an RGB image, I just...
Interesting that it should make that much difference, although I've seen similar jpeg color changes when I've saved images for the web (although I usually...
Finally got out and did some imaging last night. Woo Hoo! Here's an image of Comet Holmes, 10x1min exposures using a 100mm lens and LPS filter. It's really...
Steve Barkes and I are planning to head to Upham early this week while conditions are ripe, just in case things take a turn by the weekend. This time of year...
Hi Dave, This is a beautiful wide-field image of Comet Holmes. Nice job of composing this interesting object. Mike ... dave.dockery@... wrote: Finally...
Dave, Nice pic of the comet. Those space jockeys better be driving that ISS straight this evening! I'm going to try it with the DSLR through the 16" tonight. ...
Cool! What mode are you shooting in? I guess I'll be using my LB12" and trusty webcam. Dave ... From: R Richins <rrichins@...> Dave, Nice pic of the...
Beautiful shot Dave. The field of view and composition is great. Kirby _____ From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On ...
I'm going to pretty much use the settings Steve B posted a week or so ago and see what works. I think the guy shot 1/250 sec at ISO 100. I'll shoot RAW....
Well, first I couldn't reach focus with the 16", so with minutes to spare I rolled out the C11. It had the GEG on from the previous night. No time to really...
Here is a comet Holmes from last night as I was waiting for the Rosette to come up. 29 frames at 120 seconds each and five darks. Vixen at 533mm, Canon 350D....
Very nice Kirby! George ... From: Kirby Benson<mailto:kirby@...> To: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com<mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday,...
Not bad, Rich. I had over exposure issues. You have to really nail the exposure time on the web cameras and @ 1/1000sec and 75% gain it was way too bright for...
Beauty! That's really up close and personal at 533mm. Are you saying you measured the seeing at 6.8 arc-sec? I'm sure it was much better than that. How did...
Nice job Kirby San! I like the color in the version of Comet Holmes. Nothing quite like a nice image while waiting for your primary subject to come into...
The ISS is an object in full daylight so the right exposure should be in the range that would properly capture a lunar full disk image. I'm guessing that...
Good Evening Folks, Hot off the press! Here is the first of three narrowband images of ic1805 on the imaging agenda this evening from our remote JMSM...
Interesting. Wouldn't ISS be much more reflective than the lunar surface? There's lot's of white insulation and shiny solar panels on the station but I guess...
Ahh, the heart of the Heart Neb. That's going to be lovely, Mike. Thanks for being so generous with your data. Dave ... From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com...
Hi Folks, Here are the remaining color narrowband data in TIF format for IC1805. http://www.imagingtheheavens.com/Guest/guest.html I registered the SII, Ha,...
Dave, No, that is not the seeing. This refers to the goal of getting the arc seconds of FWHM down to the goal of 2 arc seconds FWHM as described in the ...
