Speaking of bad seeing, I had to toss a lot of subs and still this is pretty soft. I may come back to this later (NGC 7008 is pretty much an all seasons nebula...
... Drew, that looks pretty good to me. I have seen sharper images of this nebula but they're with the Hubble or a 24" RCOS. After trying to image the...
Though, the see'n totally sucks..... http://www.lafterhall.com/dmk_sv102ed_sunspots-1024_001.jpg Hope this is the beginning of something big. Jim Livermore...
Here is an image of M57 with about the same equipment/FL: http://www.ancientstarlight.com/M57.html Note the enormously smaller stars. I think most of the...
It was near full moon so I did the moon. And I agree about the seeing so rather than do high res of the moon at long FL I did the entire moon at 2200mm...
That is splendid! Well done, sir, exceedingly well done. Really like the contrast in the maria, and you seem to have captured craterlets in Plato. Very...
Actually what paid off was actually reading the docs (including the appendix) to Registax v 5.0, and learning how to do the Wavelets with the Gaussian option...
... Very Nice! I am always amazed whenever anyone gets the outer halos around M57. I've tried several times and I just never get them even with long total...
... 80-90% from Ha. From the Lum you can tell there is a hazy cloud there but no detail. Note that is 14 hours of Ha BTW. And when I say I can see some...
... Drew I did see that exposure length for the Ha. I was wondering if it is necessary to go that long to even get a glimpse of the outer shells.From your...
... I use CCD Commander. I don't have a permanent observatory but use Wheeley Bars so I can set up or take down in just a few minutes. All it takes, once I...
... Yes, I have recently been doing multiple nights gathering data for the same target. It certainly has improved my S/N ratio. I was set up last month for 10...
There are a lot of parameters you need to set in CCDC. Some in the action and some in the setup tabs. For example for a Plate Solve to succceed there are...
... I already am a member of the CCDC Yahoo group and have been reading it for several months. None of the message content has been relative to the problems I...
Shot this a couple nights ago with the C9 and DMK21 camera. Seeing was not great; would have really liked to have gone for a mosaic of the region in larger...
But you brought out the contrast nicely, nonetheless. Have you been doing Jupiter? I was up at 0300 Fri AM. But I need more fiddling before I can draw any...
Results with Jupiter have been very disappointing. Seeing is just not there for imaging. Shooting wide field of the moon has been the most productive. Here...
As a question for all of you, how do you process Jupiter? I believe Jim said he uses AVI stack which I use on the moon and there it works superbly. For Jupiter...
Not too bad at all, nice color. Certainly better than anything I have been able to pull off so far. Hopefully, fall will bring some steadier air. Jim ...
Hi Bill Good to see you're still hanging out here. How goes the new duty station? Here are a couple images from the same week during a very brief period of...
Friday was a nice night at Fremont Peak. To my delight NGC 6992/5 framed almost perfectly on the 350D chip with my AP160 at f/7.5. I cranked the ISO to 1600...
