Thought I would wrap up this thread with the outcome of my recent sale and purchase of new scope to enter into the world of astro-imaging. So I sold my 10"...
Congratualations, Ron. Sounds like you're really on your way with the G-11 and a ready to go 8" SN. Your DSI Pro II has the same 1/2" interline CCD as in my...
Hi Ron, Glad you were able to come to a decision on the equipment. I suspect we all remember the stress of trying to select the right stuff. I wouldn't give up...
I've found the modified 350xt works well with fast refractors. The 8" meade schmidt newt worked well for me w/ the 300D... I've not tried it with the 350xt. ...
Is it possible to combine LRGB data from two different cameras (sensors) ? Example: L-shot with Meade DSI PRO RGB- shot with Canon DSLR what software is...

registar? registax? Maybe maximDL can do it. _____ From: TAC-imaging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TAC-imaging@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of alex Sent: Friday,...
Sure! I've seen many examples of people working together over the internet on a single image with different cameras, scopes, etc. My mental model for LRGB...
Hi All, It's been a long time between images for the group. The weather seems to be getting better and I finally got around to removing the IR blocking filter...
Thanks Ray. I've done cosmetic processing (gradient removal, noise reduction, some hot pixel touchup) but I wasn't sure how to go with the sharpening,...
Really great shot, Darren! I'm getting just a touch more grey in the background than I would have expected - looks like your black point is higher than it...
Hi Darren, your Leo Trio looks great. Did you get tired of the ST10 or blooming spikes? If you have Noel Carboni's actions set, he has a nice contrast ...
Hi Pete, You, I think you're right. I'm using a Dell 19" LCD. I have a low-end monitor calibrator (Pantone Huey) that I just used again to recalibrate the...
Much, much better. They really pop now. Pete _____ From: TAC-imaging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TAC-imaging@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Darren Hutchinson Sent:...
Thanks. It's always been something that I find hard to get right. Now I need to go back and redo some of my earlier images to get them right too! Darren. ... ...
That seems to be a really common problem (that I share). The lack of prevalence of either LCD or CRT makes it almost impossible too. Since they two device...
If I have an EQ tripod with a single drive motor, should I be able to do photography or not? If the tripod is properly polar aligned, then the motor should...
Hi Hans, One motor should be enough for a good polar alignment. Obviously you won't be able to guide in DEC and it's likely you won't be able to guide in RA...
Hi Hans With a good quality, driven EQ mount, you should be able to do both lunar and planetary, and some respectable unguided deep sky imaging. Just a camera...
A very important question is "At what focal length/image scale?" Imaging at short focal length (for example with a short focal length recractor) is fairly easy...
For about a year I did unguided imaging with a G11. But it was fairly wide-field. I was using 35mm film and camera lenses, up to about 135mm. These were like...
Thank Jim! There's a lot of things I hope to get with this camera this year and I'm hoping the wider field makes that easier. Darren. ... [Non-text portions of...
Hi Iver, I've learned to handle the blooming spikes and the ST10 will probably end up staying my main camera. I think it will be nice during summer to leave...
Thanks to all for the answers, this is what I was expecting. I was tracking down an issue over the last few weeks that makes my 5-minute exposures with...
Hi, Here are some recent narrowband shots with an ST-2000XM, Astrodon Sii/Ha/Oiii filters, a TMB 152/1200, and an AP1200. Thanks much to Neil Fleming for his...
Hi Michelle, Thanks for the offer, from both the collimation and observing point of view. I'm hoping to address the problem before the next new moon (but as my...
