I am interested in the KAF09000 as the 12 micron pixels are probably a better match for my 1950 or 2958mm focal length and my local seeing. I know the 09000...
I know larger well depth is preferrable over small wells. But what are the practical implications for imaging with a small well depth CCD? Say 20-25,000...
Any of the Newtonian Astrophotographers have a solution to increase the focal length by 1.3 to 1.6 times the original focal length? I have a 3" Wynne (OO)....
Hello All, I often don't cool the chip as fast as possible cause I feel the rapid thermal stress/shock is detrimental for the CCD chip and I usually don't cool...
Hi Does anyone have any experience using a PDF focuser with MaximDL? Is the step size 1.25 microns? I tried clicking the AUTO button in Maxim DL but nothing...
NOT A KAF series.. Just a KAI with electronic shutter http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110802005651/en/KODAK-Imaging-Techno logy-Explore-Jupiter ...
Hi, After debating about if I imaged a uncataloged PN, I finally decided to process the image of this zone, which is very complicated one, I think. ...
I took this over the past few weeks; shooting a bit more when I had the chance. Been a bit busy this year and it is interfering with my imaging L This is a...
Another one that's been queued up for posting http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/m20_ap180edt_ml8300_rgb_optec_page.htm it is 3 hours total of 5 minute RGB subs...
Here is another one I shot recently. This is 10 hours total using 15 minute subs, FLI Research Grade Filters, AP155EDF f/7 and Proline PL3200 camera Total...
Hello All, Came across an interesting bit of kit: Explore Scientific Telescope Drive Master "just turning on the TDM almost eliminates all of the periodic and...
Hi, My name is Manuel, live in hot and wet S. Florida. I am a new owner of a Mono FLI 8300 and it happens also is my first time using LRGB filters. I've...
Hello All, Here is the link to my website, not completely done but you are welcome to take a look. DeepSkyAwe Observatory www.wix.com/deepskyawe/1 Rouzbeh,...
Hi guys, Well, we've finally gotten some data from our new obs in New Mexico.....the DRO (Dragon Rock Observatory). I haven't had my OBS open in Oregon for...
Hi, I want to share with you my first light image. It's a soft processed image to show were I am. I'm in the middle of acquiring this image, but damn, there...
I would love to use FLI's RBI feature but I cannot figure out how to use to with my observatory automation software. I use CCD Commander/Maxim v5. Has any been...
End of June gifted us with two very transparent nights in a row, so I used the 90 min. of astronomical darkness per night to image this low elevation object. ...
Hi, This is the second time this message ruins my imaging. The filter wheel is connected through the CCD Hub, it's a 5/7 filter wheel. Is this caused by USB...
Hey gang, Well, I probably have a driver probelm but I can't get MaximDL v.5 or FLI grab to recognize my PL 16803 and CFW-4-5. This always seems to be an...
The bright lines are caused by excessive dark current in a single pixel. Note that the lines do not run the entire height of the frame. The dark lines are...
My 16803 chip developed a line in one column recently which I take it is usual aging of CCD chips. I wanted to be able to correct it in CCDStack2 as it has a...
Hallo, Here is a new image from this month; NGC 7882 & Cederblad 214, part of a bigger nebula complex in Cepheus. More than 15 hours of exposure time in total,...
Hello all, I'm new to the group and have a question. I'm just starting to use the 6303...I'm told this is an older camera. It has a ton of column defects that...
