Before I left for Anacortes I got another 40 minutes on M101. Here is the combined image using 76 minutes of exposure time at ISO1600. I always grade the...
I agree George - the detail is noticeably improved. I pushed the color a bit and many of the brighter HII regions really showed up nicely. I can't answer your...
The extra time really helps to smooth the image. I can also now see as meny as 9 galaxies in the image down to mag 17.4 Well done George. Bob.... ... From:...
Nice George. The noise is definitely reduced. Good detail in the galaxy. Steve ... Before I left for Anacortes I got another 40 minutes on M101. Here is the...
I managed to catch a few photons last night before Moon rise (well mostly before). I shot NGC6992 (The Eastern Veil). I started my luminance while the nebula...
If you plan to have anything in the June HDO, please have it to me tomorrow. In this issue we usually have articles concerning the TSP so if you went, please...
Very nice, Bob! I look forward to you adding some color data to your M16 image in a few days (when the moon and storm clouds pass). rr ... Re: [ASLC_Imagers]...
Thanks Rich, weather willing, I will try to get a few more hours of Ha here from Vado next week, and get the color data at Upham. Bob.... ... From: Rich...
Nice shots Bob! I really like the veil shot. Lots of good detail there. Keep em coming. Steve ... mostly before). I shot NGC6992 (The Eastern Veil). I...
Very nice, Bob. I notice you went 20 minute subs for most of the data. I guess the wind wasn't much of a factor. DId you only go 5 minutes on the lum data...
I did 10min subs for the luminance data and it was quite a bit dimmer than I expected. Partly because I started shooting when only 20 degrees above the...
Dear Imagers, Here is my first attempt at using the modified DSLR. From Thursday night. Garnet Star and IC 1396. Lots more to learn about this approach and ...
Hey Kirby, Pretty good, especially considering the short exposures. Guiding looks good and stars look tight. I think you will have to go a little longer to...
Nice first light, Kirby. You were up late to get that one. What scope and f/num were you imaging with? I notice some vignetting in the corners. That can be...
Dave, It was the Vixen 103 with a focal reducer that makes it F/5.2. I also saw the vignetting - I suppose it can be cropped off or dealt with in processing ...
Kirby..... I went back and looked at my images of IC1396. I imaged it twice... once before having the camera modified and once after. I've attached both...
George - I really like them both. I would be very happy with images this good. The first one (no modification) because the variability in the nebula and the...
Chuck, Your camera is ready to go. You can pick it up Wednesday evening after 5:30pm. I'm leaving for Orlando on Thursday, and won't be back until Saturday...
Perfect timing. I'll call before I stop by. D'ya think I need instructions to use it? Chuck ... after ... and can ... [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On...
Chuck, The camera now has an additional 20 foot serial cable attached. On the end of that cable, there is a switch which enables/disables the long exposure...
Sounds great. I may get to try it out this weekend while camping. Not sure if I will even take the setup along, tho; depends on the weather report around...
FWIW: I finally got the 10" LX200 scope out last night and fitted the ST402ME camera with a 2" nosepiece, 1.5" extender, UV/IR filter, and the Antares 0.5...
Thanks Steve for the instructions I had the camera out testing it last Thursday night and it would have been nice to have them then but I muddled through and...
Here is one from last night. Borg 101ED, 1.4 x tele-extender, TAK NJP mount (no guiding), 2 min x 20 light and also dark at ISO 1600. Processing with IP,...
Jerry, There are two connections from the camera to the serial port/switch. The long exposure switch connects the shutter control to ground. I could have ...
