Brian I am using a remote guide head on a WO 66 as a guide scope. I am running 5 second exposures binned 2x2 although I have thought about going to shorter...
Terry, Let CCDC figure it out for you; automagically; CCDC keeps the exposure times as short as possible but will adjust as seeing changes. I would also...
This narrowband color image of SH2-248, also known as IC 443, was taken using SII for red, and H-Alpha for green, and OIII for blue. I processed using CCD...
Wow Dean, this is beautiful!!! I know how difficult is to get that detail from this objetct. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Clear skies, Florencio ......
Dean, This is a discover for me to see IC443 like this ! This is my next shot for winter 2009 :o) The result is incredible, SII and OIII give to this object a...

As a result of the responses and suggestions that I received on my previous version here is the result from a more brutal selection of my data and a revised...
Glad to see you joining the "dark side", Terry. Lotsa data there. One question though...on my monitor, looks very saturated. Have you been able to calibrate...
Neil Not recently as in never. A monitor calibration unit is on my get list. I am still undecided whether to go with Spyder 2, Spyder 3, or the Pantone Huey....
I think there is a Photoshop Astro group that might have some good feedback on this, Terry. I use a Monaco Optix along with software that came with the Eizo...
Yup. Good stuff. I find that judicious application of masks as I bring in the results is important, though. ... www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from...
Neil I took a look at the image I posted on anothe rmonitor at work. Yetch. You were nice when you said that it appeared to be saturated. It turned out that...
Neil, I tried it out last night on an RGB image of Eta Carina I had taken a few months back. The results were just stunning. You did a nice/balanced job of...
Hi folks, Sorry for the OT. I noticed that many of you use electronic focusers, and I wanted to tap your expertise. If you think it's too OT to continue this...
Kel, You might just want to joing the Focus Max User Group. FMAXUG. You will find your answers there. Robert ... focusers, ... continue ... T y ... that ... up...
Yes, there are more than a few warts...but all have workarounds and don't compromise my ability to generate a nicely deconvolved image. You merely have to do...
Thanks Robert! I just picked through the archives there, and it looks like I may just go with the more mainstream Robofocus. Kel ... A ... changing, ... feet ...
Ok so I have a new mono camera and a full set of narrowband filters. I should have thought about that when all the available targets at this time of year are...
Don, Could you expand on this technique you mention below for reducing the start halos from the OIII and SII data? How do you control the decon settings to...
Kel The RoboFocus unit is a very robust unit and I have had good luck with it on my TAK FS-128. I recently purchased a C-14 and added an Optec TCF- S Crawford...
Robert I found myself in the same situation. I started out last month with NGC2264 and switched to NGC2174 and justr started on NGC 2264 agian tonight. You can...
I use CCDNavigator as my primary target identification tool and am having trouble locating emission nebulae or other suitable H-a targets while the moon is...
Terry, All those good targets are beyond the reach for me. I can only image in the eastern sky to about 2 hours past the meridian in the west. I am looking at...
Robert I understand your observing constraints. I have a similar problem with the worst light pollution in the West. I just started on M17 Thursday night. I...
Terry, I have not taken my first photo with the new cam yet. I have a DSI PRO III and SBIG CFW 8. I have CCDC and run my sessions completely automated. All the...
Well...while awaiting my replacement mount, I've been digging through some unprocessed data, and am now starting to pull it all together... Exposures: This is...
