Peter, Your astroimages are exceptional! I enjoyed looking at them and glad you sent them our way. Thanks, too, for sharing your setup. Would you mind...
Thanks! My processing techniques vary from image to image and I usually process every image until I get eye pleasing results :) I follow the procedure...
Hi All Here's an image taken last night. http://tinyurl.com/5wlu6x 17x240sec F6.3 Iso 800 with a Canon 350D Ef75-300 lens. One problem I have found when trying...
Lo David The 410 and 405 Manfrotto geared heads will do the job but they are not cheap. Respectively £130.00 and £270.00. When the others read this post they...
Hi David, Fantastic shot! do you mind if we put this up on the website gallery? One way to get more control with camera is to use something like the Manfrotto...
Hi Jim, All the polar scopes are checked for reticle centreing at the factory and should be good straight out of the box for focal lengths up to 400 mm. It is...
Hi Richard Feel free to put it up on the website, I'd be honoured. I've seen a Manfrotto 808RC4 new, on ebay for $199. Price seems good, have you had any...
Hi David, Thank you very much - I'll get your shot up in the gallery section. I keep imagining you in some amazing desert location, with fantastically dark...
Hi David, I've just realised that you were probably referring to putting the 808 head on top of the AstroTrac, rather than underneath it. In that case, ...
Another Astrotrac shot from my recent (and quite productive, thanks to Astrotrac) La Palma trip! Milky Way, North America nebula, nebulas around Gamma Cygni,...
Now that is *my* kind of shot! Love it!! Looong subs :) I image from a fire road at about 2000m on the NW side of La Palma, when over on vacation. Where do...
That is brilliant. Love it. I keep looking for flights and accomodation in La Palma but to be honest I'm beginning to think that it will be next year before I...
So far I've been there 3 times, twice in July/August and once in January. I have another trip planeed next January. I go for one week only, due to costs. In...
Thanks! I image from the terraces of the houses I rent :) I usually stay in self-catering houses on NW side of the island = Puntagorda or Tijarafe. Puntagorda...
Peter: You are a star. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Always best to hear it from the horses mouth I find. January will probably be ideal for...
Always glad to help! BTW... be sure to rent a house on the WEST side of the island, Puntagorda or Tijarafe municipality if possible. East side has much worse...
Not so sure about going to La Palma. I think I should sort my act out back here before I consider grander things. The good news is that its a crystal clear...
Hi Practice at home is good to do! Been there and made many mistakes :) As for La Palma: - the Calimas are most common in July and August. They can easily ...
Hi Peter What a fantastic image. Have you tried the minimum filter in photoshop to try to reduce the stars. Copy your final image, apply minimum filer ( 1 px),...
... I wish I did live in a desert location, it would'nt rain as much. In fact I'm about 150km north of Sydney & 50km in from the coast in the Hunter Valley...
Hi All, Well out of my comedy of errors on Thursday evening I managed to get at least this shot before the clouds came along. Processed in PS and stacked (mere...
Hi Phil, I love the way the nebulosity is a bit more subtle in this image than some I have taken with a modded camera - the red can over dominate sometimes I...
…maybe replace `factory' with small business unit within a converted chicken farm complex! I needed a magnetic retrofit to the polar scope arm on my `Trac...
Thanks Richard - I was quite surprised by the result to be honest especially when you consider my camera isn't modded. I really wasn't expecting so much red. ...
Great image Phil....I agree with Richard that the mix of other colours for this object is more appealing to me visually than some of the overpowering all red...
