I will be out tonight and anyone that wants to come out is welcome. Dress warm! I will be doing some imaging with the CCD on the TAK 130. We are located on...
Hi All, We had an amazing time last night at Mark's Observatory. Judy, I and Neil showed up and Mark showed us his imaging rig. He used it to capture an...

Judy, Glad you like the pix. FYI those were shot with an ISO of 3200. The noise is acceptable even in the individual frames, because of the low ambient...
Thanks, Judy. I particularly appreciate that since at the last minute I had to go to Spokane. I took welding goggles, which worked fine, but I only had a pair...
I just posted a close up of the Veil Nebula in the Regina Caelorum folder. I took this on Sunday, 12 November and I think it came out pretty good given the...
Thanks, Judy I made around ten 40 second exposures in red, green, blue, and unfiltered. I say "around ten" because I had to throw some out because of clouds. ...
Yes, I would say that it came out very well. Thanks for posting it. Don ... Don E. Bray, Ph.D., P. E. Don E. Bray, Inc. Mail P. O. Box 10315, College Station,...
Mark, That's not bad at all. Forty second exposures probably don't even require guiding, unless your mount has really large PE. How did you process the RAW...
Anjal, To get small stars, I have to guide. The Losmandy G11 has a good bit of PE. The only thing I did to the images was dark subtraction and a bias frame....
Hi All, I've added new images in the folder "Anjal's Deepsky and Planetary Images" folder for your viewing pleasure. The Rosette and the Horsehead images are...
Thanks for posting your images. I really like the Rosette. Judy ... From: anjal_sharma <anjal_sharma@...> To: brazosastro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
Thanks Judy. The rosette image is a stack of 20 ISO1600 images of 55 to 65 second duration. The horsehead image is a stack of 27 ISO800 and 3 ISO1600 images...
Anjal, These are super. I could never fit the Rosette on the ST-7 but this looks great. Also, the Horsehead is a tough nut to crack but yours looks great. I...
Thanks, Mark. I know I can do better. My mount was not quite polar aligned, so I was limited to about 85 second unguided exposures and even these showed some...
I have greatly enjoyed the recent postings by Mark and Anjal. We have had great nights lately, and I appreciate the effort of both of these in producing...
Don, Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you like our images. What camera are you using to take your shots? They're quite nice. For dark frame sunstraction,...
Anjar, The camera is a Canon S2IS. It is a point and shoot type, but can be configured for use on the telescope and does have the mechanism for a variety...
Hi All, I've added four new images in the folder "Anjal's Deepsky and Planetary Images" for your viewing pleasure. These are the Califonia Nebula, a widefield...
Mark, Sure, no problem. I can pass along what little I know about Photoshop. I know how to adjust levels, curves, apply a few rudimentary filters, and resize...
I would like to participate in some Photoshop efforts also. I have some success in using the layers. But, I forget to do it the next time around and don't keep...
Actually, that's a great idea, Don. I can get my laptop with Photoshop LE 5.0 loaded, as well as a few images posted here that we could work with at the next...
Anjal That sounds good. I am not sure when, however, as I am traveling all this week and must get a proposal out on the weekend and then traveling again the ...
Don, That would be fun but I am out until around Dec 16. Maybe then? Mark _____ From: brazosastro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:brazosastro@yahoogroups.com] On ...
