Hi Vincent, I must admit I've never seen one in the flesh. Measurement wise it's not much larger that the Atlas, but the carrying capacity is much larger. It ...
Once again ripped from the astroimaging yahoo group. Possible June Targets Moderate: NGC5907 Splinter Galaxy in Draco 10.4 o M94 Galaxy 8.2 o M107 Globular 8.1...
Hello everyone, I have missed posting with you all. My computer crashed and it wasn't pretty! I haven't imaged recently due to the weather, but I started on...
Nothing spectacular but this image represents success for me in a number of ways. I'd like to get another couple hours of luminance and also acquire RGB. Maybe...
Looking good! Your efforts to tune your mount is already paying off. I'll be looking forward to your Ha LRGB in the near future! Dale ... number of ... ...
... that ... As a matter of fact no. I struggled to get it to guide well, and if I used coordinates to move the scope to exactly where I had been the ...
YES! It's huge! Seriously, seriously huge. I've got it set up inside (to get to know it better) with the TOA-150. Tomorrow I've got to drop into Halted...
Darren, Congrats!!! I told you so!!! Ahh... HSC... a tinker's dream shop. All kinds of 'STUFF' lying around for you to find. Have fun with the setup, looking...
Hi Paul, Very nice. The feint details around the eagle are coming out well. An investment in some color should make for a great image (not that it isn't great...
Thanks, Ray. I appreciate the encouragement. I plan to continue gathering Ha data to reduce the noise and to augment it with RGB... eventually. This weekend ...
Given the high price of the Optec Pyxis rotator, has anyone considered using the Meade de-rotator as a rotator? I don't know much about it. I don't know if the...
Hi Paul, I haven't heard of anyone trying to use one for that purpose so there probably is a good reason. But just because I haven't heard of anyone using it...
Assuming that the maximum derotation speed is equal to sidereal, then I think you'd have to speed it up by about 720x, assuming that a 180-degree rotation in 1...
Finally, after several weeks away from scope and camera, I was able to get a good couple hours of imaging in from my backyard with my now not so new scope....
Lots of detail despite the small image scale, and plenty of signal. Your background noise level is really low. Do you do any background smoothing or similar? ...
Hi Paul, I'm still using pretty basic image processing with Stark Labs Nebulosity. The DPP routine appears to do some smoothing,so does the star diameter...
