Hi everybody, I decided to give M42 another try last night. It was pretty windy out there so I was pretty surprised with the reasonable tracking I got. Here's...

Hi Dave, Nice M42! Is it shot with an 80mm? Focal reducer? I'm wondering because I am looking forward to shooting this again now that I have my 80mm scope....
Hi All, When we get what we call "weather" in Southern California, it usually means really bad weather for the rest of the U.S. we got about 4 inches of rain...
It wasn't all that cold last night (around 0C) but the wind made it quite chilly. Normally I spend most of the time inside while the laptop collects bytes and...
I'm imaging with a Meade 80mm ED-APO and DSI-Pro II camera w/ an ATIK filter wheel. I'm considering purchasing a William Optics 0.8 Flattener/Reducer but...
... Yes. It has male T-threads. Most filter wheels have female T-threads on one side, and male on the other to go into the female T-threads of the camera....
... to be exactly the same as the Atik. I puzzled over this for a couple of weeks, then a friend came over, unscrewed the nose piece on the filter wheel and...
I posted an image under the folder name "Landscapes" in the photo section. It came out very nice. The reddish sun like glow in the upper left corner came...
While technically this is a bicolor image, it is almost all Ha. 2.5 hours Ha. I planned to get as much OIII, but had my usual camera shutdown (unknown error)....
Nice picture Derek. Last night both my Pro and color cameras (1st gen though) shut down a few times and/or locked up PHD and Envisage. Removing them and...
Hi all, It's been a while since I've done any imaging, due to weather, but mainly family reasons. About a month ago, I installed the new Meade pulse guide...
I use a winbook si2 laptop. It is a P2-600mhz 256megRam. I works fine with a single camera. It only has usb1.1, so I use a PCMCIA 4port usb powered hub. I have...
Excellent! This is very handy. I particularly like the ability to just point to a star to align it or center it. Plus, the rotate function allow me to...

Please cast your vote for the November Challenge! We've got four nice images of the Blue Snowball planetary nebular, NGC7662. Images can be found at: ...
I am new to astrophotography and am having to slowly building up a telescope. Could not wait any longer and purchased an Orion Guidescope. It is the OTA used...
Hi Derek, Still quite a good image! I suspect the lower half of the nebula will pop out with data from the other channels or more Oiii. This is a kludge, but I...
Nice image Nick! Did you use much noise reduction or Carboni star actions? The star field looks a little overcooked, maybe it's just my eyes, or the false...
Hi David, A couple thoughts: - Guiding in alt-az will hold a star steady, with everything else rotating around it. Sounds like you are keeping the exposures...
Hi Duncan, That was quite a storm. The good news is that most of the soot washed off my roof, so no more fine crud blowing down on my optical coatings. Bad...
Hi Kel, I used Carboni's actions for noise reduction. For some reason the poor seeing caused increased noise in the subs. I think narrowband also tends to do...
Hi Nick, Oh, I definitely like the result too. The nebula sits behind a lot of foreground stars, so it's a tough object. Durn pesky stars! Sounds like I still...
David, If it wasn't for the "15-30 seconds for the star to move away" I'd say it sounds like differential flexure or mirror "flop". But those tend to cause the...
Hi Nick, Very nice job! I imaged this one a couple of weeks ago but due to high humidity it came out horrible. Like you, I've been under heavy cloud co0ver...
M42 Hi all, Here's <http://webpages.charter.net/dsnay/astro/Astrophotos/M42-11-30-07.html> an updated version of the M42 image I posted yesterday. I included...
Thanks Sander and Kel. Kel, some sort of an alarm would be ideal. I'll look into it but have no clue where to start. I guess one way would be to use something...
Hi Nick. Great job and nice framing. I started that one last year, got the Ha, but never added color. Are you going to, and would you add RGB or stick with...
Hi Dave. That's scary good! And thanks for the detailed processing info. It'll help me with combining future long/short exposures. Derek ... 07.html> ... dark ...
