... Steve, I really didn't heap enough praise on the quality of shots both in framing and especially in processing. These are very fine examples of what can...
You can never get enough of a good thing. I've shot NGC 6188 on every trip to Oz. Here's one done remotely for grins. 7 hours total exposure time 6" AP EDIF @...
So what happens when you combine 15 hours worth of data? You get a lot of gas. Hubble Pallet 15 hours total exposure AD SII,OIII,HII 6nm filters AP 15 EDIF @...
... Hey John, all I can say is WOW!. I roamed around for minutes. Not at all that familiar with southern sky objects. It was very nice to see something new....
Thank you all. I started to adjust separate color channels within the master Lagoogn & Trifid tri-color narrowband image and began pulling out detail I have...
Thanks for the heap o' praise, Keith! Ironically, I took flats and flat darks too but did not use them. Didn't really seem necessary, plus I was dead tired...
... Steve, I would shoot without any filter. After all 52 Cygni is what is dominant in this area anyway. With DSLR's which are anti-blooming basically, all...
Keith, Thanks for the advice. I'll go w/o a filter. Your shot is very nice; I love the graceful wave of the filamentous structure and the contrasting colors. ...
Spectacular, John! Really brings a dramatic new perspective to this familiar area. And all done with less than an inch of aperture (AP 15 EDIF) - WOW! :-) ...
Seeing conditions the last couple months continue to be disappointing with Jupiter so large. Seeing was mushy last night, but one of the avi's I shot with a...
Hi Jim, nice image, especially considering the conditions. I've been imaging about 7 yrs. now and this has been by far the longest stretch of bad weather I've...
Been getting some fair lunar and planetary images with the C9, but a couple nights ago the seeing was so mushy that I gave up with the big scope and tried...
Hi folks, I posted on tac-sac and then someone suggested I post here. As a piggyback camera, what do people think of the Canon 50D with EF-S 18-200mm zoom IS...
I did some stuff with 40D on top of LX200 at 28mm FL with std EFS lens, and got good results. I didn't try much at that len's 85mm limit. I did try a Sigma...
Hans thanks for your response Sept 4. One other response I got, on tac-sac, suggested (if I understood correctly) that e.g. an auto-guider might not be a...
If you take pictures alone the galactic equator with a minimum (>25mm?) focal length, you won't see much rotation, but towards the pole you will. This...
It is likely that the previous offer saturated this market, but I also have one that I am willing to sell for $400. I used the astrotrac for my wide field...
Another piece of equipment that I am planning to replace is my DSLR. I love the Canon 20Da and will still be using it for eclipses and anytime I need to do...
... Thanks, but the link did not work. A friend helped me to experiment some more with my 20Da to see how far I could push it. Using internal darks we were...
