All, I have uploaded updated software for the FLI focusers. This is the release candidate. Feel free to update (unzip the files in the zip file over the...
Hi Everybody Here is a new one taken a couple a weeks ago. Its a 120 40 40 40 LRGB of NGC7023 taken with the FLI PL4240 camera through the 20” f9 cassegrain....
Hi everyone, Not many clear nights last month at our remote place in Southern-France, so I could only finish NGC 4395 and M51 in luminance. Especially for M51,...
Here is another of my recent galaxy imaging with an ML8300. This one is a blend of data from a TEC180 fluorite and a 12.5 inch RCOS taken a year earlier. So...
I took this one over a few nights. It is near the more commonly imaged NGC6188 a southern hemisphere target. It has a delicate shock wave that only shows up in...
I finally got my system up an running again so now I want to tackle this RBI thing. How can I use the RBI flush feature of my PL-16803 with Maxim v5 and CCD...
I apologize if this is inappropriate on the group board here, but I need to sell mine due to circumstances with my wife's business. I want someone to have the...
Hi, You don't have to travel to Namibia to take photos of these object, but from my location at home they are permanently hidden by a nearby hill. This is not...
Hello Karel I like them very much, especially how you handled M51. Wolfgang ... From: Karel Teuwen To: 'CCD Astro' ; FLI_Imaging_Systems@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hello everyone, I was able to put together an image from data gathered over three nights of dodging clouds and weather. South Florida weather is always so...
I managed to find the latest Atlas focuser driver in the files area. One suggestion - it should be put into the main software archive on the FLI website as...
I got a bit of clear weather so I took an image of this classic Southern Object; NGC6188. Planewave CDK17, FLI Proline 16803, PME. 6 hours HaLRGB 120 60 60 60...
Hi All, I am looking at the files size of a Bin 1x1 frame from an ML16803 and it is large enough to significantly slow down screen refreshes on my PC (somewhat...
I see there is a KAF40000 sensor. I think this is a new sensor. It seems to be useable for imaging. How much is this one in a Proline? Will it fit in a...
I am interested to find out the likely difference in performance for these 2 chips. I am looking at a Microline 29050 camera for my refractors which are F7 or...
Still under a moon and heavy light pollution so we have here another narrowband image This time it is the Fighting Dragons in Ara (aka NGC 6188 & 6164) The...
Hello Everybody Here is the first light with my new PL4240 on the 20" f9 ASA Cassegrain. The image came rather unexpected as I was just testing and the...
drawbacks of the sensor 1) cost 2) dark current: must have very deep cooling (-50C operating temp [not the delta T from ambient] is a good operating...
An interesting Ha and dust area in the Southern Hemisphere. FLI ML 8300 and TEC180 fluorite. http://upload.pbase.com/gregbradley/image/134637762/large regular...
Hello. I am interested in the groups experience with the FLI ProLine PL6303E ccd. Being a NABG camera, what are the typical exposure durations before blooming...
Hi all. I am trying to gather some information on what would be a very good lens (around f2.8 or f3.5) for my ML8300 and CFW2-7 with Baader filters (3mm...
Earlier I made the comment in the discussion yesterday that smaller pixels simply gather less light: or to gather the same number of photons either the source...
These clear skies are nice... Here is a 6.25hr exposure with the F3.8 Mclaren Scope :-P This is a deep narrowband image processed to resemble an HaRGB image...
http://skysurvey.org/ Hello Everyone - If you haven't been to this site, I highly recommend that you follow the above link. The remarkable image was created by...
When I first got the E180ED I had mentioned that I was impressed by how fast it was As an example here is the Veil area taken with the '6303 and eline filters ...
Dear group, Here are 3 new pics taken during the last new moon period. For M61 and the galaxy group in Draco, there are also very interesting distant galaxy ...
While effectively still in the testing phase, this is my first deepish image with the 12" F3.8 astrograph. After spending quite a while trying to tweek the...
