... There's a brand new one on eBay for $650, shipping included: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3807466564 Cheers, Paul Sterngold ...
Fellow images, Preliminary results: I just completed several hours worth of dark frames at various temperatures with the 10D. I took my data at 40F, 60F and...
After a lot of experimentation here is my first deep sky image with my new STL-11000M. The subframes were collected near full-moon from my light polluted yard...
Ray, Wow that's one big chip :) Yep, a little grainy, but still very fine. Might the image be just a tad deficient in blue? Maybe 'cause of your light...
Hi Paul, Thanks! It's possible it is blue deficient because of the gradient removal but what are you seeing that makes you think it is blue deficient? -Ray ......
Ray, The star-forming regions in M81 look a bit too red with not much blue, even as compared to your own previous shots. I really noticed it in star colors,...
This didn't seem to get posted. Well, it could be that light pollution and the moon took their toll. I simply used the ratios recommended (1 , 0.65 , 1 ) for...
Good grief Ray, how "big" IS that thing. The picture is huge. (pixel x pixel??) Very nice. 35 mm sized, wow... ... Phil Chambers [ptchamb@...] (S.F....
Well, it could be that light pollution and the moon took their toll. I simply used the ratios recommended (1 , 0.65 , 1 ) for the filters and chip. Now if that...
Hi Phil, Thanks! The full chip is about 4008 x 2745 pixels -Ray ... From: P T Chambers [mailto:ptchamb@...] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 6:40 PM To:...
Well, we'll see. I have a custom Newtonian flat field corrector that I intend to use with the 18". Theoretically it will produce a pretty nice coma corrected...
Hmm, I dont know what I am talking about but you might consider a focuser mod that allows individual movement of the 4 corners. I envision 4 studs in place of...
Yea, that would be a start, but there are probably other issues like flexure of the OTA that will move the optical axis around slightly as the scope is slewed...
I'm struggling with this very issue with my SN10. I built a focuser adapter a year or two ago for a JMI focuser when I got it, but despite my best efforts, it...
That is why we need to try out the "cable tensioner" idea. We might be able to reduce that to a dont care. (or close) ... Phil Chambers [ptchamb@...]...
... I did a google image search and found tons of color variations in images of the region, so they're not much good as a reference. There is a nice solar...
Paul, Take a look at Bill McLaughlin's image of the area with his AP155, which obviously has higher resolution and image scale. You will see those stars are...
My old power inverter finally died, so I need to acquire a new one. I only need it for my laptop, so the draw is pretty low. Efficiency is my main concern. Is...
Paul, I would expect a smaller inverter running at 50-80% of its capacity to be more efficient than a large one running at 10% of capacity. But that is just a...
My email was stopped up again for a day or two so this is a late response but.... Newer inverters are quite efficient. If it has a fan, it NEEDS it, and is...
Forecasts don't look good for the imagers ball... Hopefully they are wrong and LSA will work. I have this one window available to get out somewhere though -...
LOL, thanks Chambers and Terzian- the two Phils. I'll look for something small and without a fan. Cheers, Paul Sterngold ... __________________________________...
