Dear Imagers Supremo, Here is an M-81 I shot last night with the C8 and Orion SS. It is a combination of some 2 minute and 3 minute sub frames. I think the...
Great image Kirby, and on a full Moon night as well. I'm glad to see your tracking problems have been straightened out. I guess the ASLC has gained another top...
Great image, Kirby. I'd say you've got things dialed in nicely. Galaxies are not easy targets. You'll get better contrast between the dim parts of the galaxy...
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Rich - it is a GM 8 with 30 pounds on it. Steve told me how to get more counterweight and move it toward...
Hi All! Just wanted to let you all know that I've added some extra fields to the photo album on the aslc site. there are now fields for telescope, camera,...
Since the album feature seems to be working well, I am going to delete the photos page from the aslc website. I believe that everybody who has a website is...
Very interesting, Steve. I saw similar artifacts in my M81/82 image from a couple of years ago but mine were running more diagonal than up and down. I was...
Hi Guys, I too suffer from a type of banding with my ST8-XE. Here is a single frame shot Monday night. It is a one minute exposure during the full moon. It has...
Interesting comment on the readout artifact on the DSI. I've come to the conclusion that I am experiencing a very similar thing on my 300d only it is vertical...
I don't know if it is the same as the Canon CMOS sensor, but according to the CCDSoft manual the banding on my CCD is an artifact caused by the antiblooming...
My understanding is that some of the banding issues with the DSI comes from the fact the odd fields are read first and then the even lines. For shorter ...
We should share some raws (at TSP?) and try different approaches for processing them. Let's see if we can either get to the source of the problem or find a...
Maybe that GuideDog guy could add a routine to move the guidestar around between exposures? SS ... My understanding is that some of the banding issues with the...
Alternatively, you could take 10-15 images, then manually move the guidestar (in GuideDog) a little. Process could be repeated 3-4 times. A minor hassle, but...
Wouldn't that require me to wake up from my nap? ... SS ... Alternatively, you could take 10-15 images, then manually move the guidestar (in GuideDog) a...
To do that Guide Dog would also have to control the camera so that an exposure wasn't in progress as the "dither" function set it. Bob.... ... From:...
Or perhaps the user could just tell guidedog to move an arcsecond (in some direction) every X minutes and program the camera to be resting when GD was moving...
Why? I'm sure the guy who wrote DSLR Control would work with the guy who wrote Guide Dog. I've met them both, they are pretty cool guys. Bob.... ... From: Rich...
Yeah, that's because without any sort of focus routine few people use it. The author tells me this is because he doesn't have a good FWHM algorithm. But just a...
Why don't you introduce me to this guy and I'll see what I can work out. Steve From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On ...
Sure, I hope to see him this weekend out at Upham. You'll like him, he's a real nice guy. Bob.... ... From: Steve Barkes To: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Nice!! Did you plan this with Astroplanner? Saw you're post on the yahoo group. NS From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com]...
Cool shot Steve. Bob.... ... From: Steve Smith To: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 10:24 pm Subject: [ASLC_Imagers] ISS Pass Caught a...
