Bruce, Thanks for that very informative reply. It really is where my thinking is at, but perhaps for less well-thought out reasons, mainly to do with getting...
Hi All, Again it was clear so straight after Judo I setup my Scopes and images M31 This image is 10x 6min & 10x 10min Subs at ISO 800 I then took 5 Darks at ...
Hi All, I have now reprocessed the image and think I have improved it: - http://www.madpc.co.uk/Images/Latest-Images/FLT98/M31-01-10-2008d.jpg -- Paul Gordon ...
Hi Timm, Thanks J The Flt-98 is a great scope!! -- Paul Gordon paul@... From: William-Optics@yahoogroups.com [mailto:William-Optics@yahoogroups.com] On...
Hi Sander, I look forwards to seeing them. M31 is big but not that easy to get the detail :-/ I'm currently imaging NGC 891 just finished M33 Regards, -- Paul...
Hi All, Well I had a go at NGC 891 not an obvious target for an WO FLt-98 4" refractor at F5.0 (With reducer) But strangely quite an interesting as the full...
Hi All, Again late back from Judo (I wish the class finished earlier) and the skies were clear!! I whizzed out and setup my kit and started imaging. First NGC...
Sander, It's still very nice even though you didn't spend much time on it. Star field is amazing. I did a search over at the other yahoo group on Pem Pro. I...
John, thanks for your nice comments. I actually look forward to meeting Ray at AIC this November. We have a bit of 'history' and bump heads now and then but...
So I finally got a chance to image the Pleiades with my QHY8/M110ED. After the first set of stretches I found I had a total of 6 columns that needed fixing...
Hi, the other day I replaced the bearings in my focuser and as reported there was one that I could not remove. Well that same bearing broke the next night with...
Hi Sander, A cracking image!! Very nice indeed. Lovely balance of nebulosity and colour J The stars look great edge to edge... Did you crop the image at all? ...
Sander, are you happy with this scope then? Do you think it is normal that two bearings break within a few days? I call this poor design. Am I the only one...
I'm pretty happy with it, yes. I haven't read a lot about optical issues with the scope but maybe I'm not looking for it. No or very few complaints here on...
Hi Paul, thanks! The stars look good but only if you look at the downsampled image. The full sized isn't so pretty, check it out. The FR-III really isn't that...
Sander, I like the stars, pretty cool. I bought a TRF-2008 used on Astromart. It has a giant spot between the lenses, bummer! I don't think the camera can...
John, sorry that your TRF may be a dud. I'd investigate it with flat frames rather than lights. Flats will tell you lots about your optical system. Thanks for...
Sander, I took a look at one of the flats. You can kind of see part of the spot from the TRF. The center in the Blue is about 33,000 ADU. Upper left is about...
John, that would be too bright for my camera which is linear only to about 20K. You should ask around with folks that know your camera better. Might well be...
Hi all :). According to the specs, the EZ Touch can support a weight of 10kg on one side, so it should be able to cope with a C9.25 OTA at 9kg (I'm using the...
Hi Dave, I have the original EZTouch with WO Tripod and have been using it as follows and am happy with it. On the Vixen side, the WO M80FD with 2" extension,...
