Ahem...post-processing aside, the scope is only part of the imaging system...let's not forget about the camera they're using. ;) I rarely visit these forums...
Mark, You are right---the camera is very important. And, as you represent one of the ccd camera companies, let me make a few remarks... I wasted one year of...
Count me in as another who waited will over a year with a placed order for a LISAA megapixel color camera. I had the same it will ship in a couple of weeks...
Robin, I second your observation. To me all the images were over-processed evident by the stars. If one likes this looks then great. The images though were ...
Tiziano, Actually software can remedy errors. So your statement is not entirely correct. When I see an image over-processed like that I can not help but ...
Bob, Fastest speed that I have found on the Mewlons is F/9.2 or so. The light cone becomes to great when you go faster and it will not flat out. So the Optec...
I have an LSSTNR made losmandy style plate available fits many tak ring sets also have Tak-STL cam adaptor available thanx Broose [Non-text portions of...
Mark, what's wrong with the stars to indicate over-processing ? Are you able to show me any amateur who has obtained better results than this (more "natural"...
Tiziano These guys do a great job at processing. Stars: 1) halos around them 2) not round- due to tracking and or guiding issues 3) misshapen from to much DDP...
Mark, hold on a second. I agree with you that M20 and other nebulas are not exceptional, you need also to consider that M20 is low in the sky in Italy,...
Tiziano, Thank you, and I am still in NorthAmerica so M20 is low in the sky, but not as low as you have in Italy. Bottom line, The web site that you show has...
I currently own a Losmandy G-11 mount and am considering purchase of a Takahashi EM200 non-goto. How is the EM200's portability compared to the G-11's...
In my third attempt at RGB tricolor with my E160 I have run into what I think are light pollution issues. I can handle light pollution in my gray scale...
Hello Alejandro, I have been in contact with someone in Japan who is very knowledgeable, and he is trying to find some information on this subject. He has a...
-- I think that the em200 is easier to handle (all motors inside) and has probably one of the quickest set ups in the market, not to mention the polar scope,...
Hi Bill, Why not a Losmandy GM-8 ? If your G11 is a Gemini GoTo then you just need some servo motors and maybe the gear assemblies ? and you should be able to...
My point was not to criticize the images, but to warn people about choosing a telescope based on highly processed images. So, please don't assume that I am...
IMO, the EM-200 is a lot sweeter to use than the GM-8. They are very similar in portability, yet the EM-200 will carry a heavier load. The wooden tripod for...
Hi, Rainer, My inquiry is restricted to the portability aspect of the EM200 mount. Thank you. Bill ... just ... should ... can ... spent ... purchase...
Hmmmm...who can say what the natural color saturation of DSO's is? I do not beleive these images are proof that a BRC-250 is the best scope for imaging-...
you comment "Hmmmm...who can say what the natural color saturation of DSO's is? " I have thought that same thing for a while until I was shown that we have an ...
I believe the EM-200 head is about 33 lbs. http://www.takahashiamerica.com/EM200.htm However, the counterweight shaft is built-into the EM-200 and retracts ...
I prefer a what I would call a natural image processing style, so I'll volunteer an image of M51 for comparison. This image is much deeper than the one under...
Hi, Robin, Yeah, it looks like the EM200 mount head is just about the same weight as the G-11 mount head. Well, I guess the EM200 is not much more portable...
