this is a project I've been meaning to start for some time. It is a widefield using Near IR longpass, [SII] and Halpha the bright stars in the Trapezium really...
Hi all, I've a SCT Meade 12" with a celestron f6.3 focal reducer, cfw8 and Sbig st2000xm, last night It took the first light and I've noted a field slight...
Wow, that IS nice,,,,the 20D has smaller pixels I know....Here's what I did with the 10D, and the ST8XE http://www.cuttingedge.net/~clearview/images/m31.htm Ed...
Michael, That TMB 130 should be a nice scope. Even though the CNC tubes are heavy I do love the way the scopes look and handle I hear you about the FSQ and...
Hi, I'm confused as to what you took the image with. Was it a 10" LX200, or was it a Meade 10" SCT OTA mounted on an equatorial mount? Cheers Paul McGale ... ...
Is anyone on this list in the Chicago area? The reason I ask is I know a fellow selling a scope but he cant ship it, and I would like the scope examined and...
Richard, Colors looks really nice I can see what you mean about grainy, The image is wonderful none the less Mark www.aajonahfish.com/astronomyhaven.htm N...
Sorry for the confusion. The images were taken with a 10"LX200 OTA mounted on a Paramount ME, autoguided with a STV on an AP guidescope. Mike pm57uk...
Peter, No guessing here. The FSQ and my AP 155 w/flattener both cover my STL11k in any rotated position. The STL11k is 36mm on one side; therefore, it will...
Ron, IMHO, the buyers of todays OTAs that intend on serious imaging should consider wide coverage (i.e FSQ as you mentioned, and AP 155 EDF). They will handle...
Randy, I don't know the exact capabilities of the various specialized CCD software tools, but I can state a few things that I have done. I have built and...
Well... I have finished my testing of the STL6303 with the 10"LX200 OTA. No great conclusions, but I now understand that the vignietting issues are not that...
Ed, This is quite nice detail especially for the wide angle. Congratultions on the assemblage of the various camera and software techniques. I know that you...
I shot this last night under light in the backyard. This is three exposures of 30 minutes though a 6nm AstroDon Ha filter using an IMG6303 and AP180EDT at...
I would suggest that you contact Optec directly to find out what you need to put all that together. No matter which focal reducer you use, you will find some...
Richard, The shot is very interesting and quite well done. I am curious about the "100" frames. I have seen this done by several others as well. I must be...
I'm sorry for the error in my recent post. Last night's images were M74 and ngc2403. The site has been updated to reflect the change. That's what I get for...
Richard, I really like this target. I want to try it. I calculated your FOV to be 69' x 104', is that correct? Nice to fire up the Mondo Refractor! Rick ... ...

Richard, Another fascinating image. Soon, I'll have to break down and get the SII and OIII filters. You acheived great focus in near-IR! Randy Marsden ... a...

im using a dsi and have had decent results for what little i have used it .because of the clouds im unable to do to much of anything but soon as the weather...
here is why i did what i did, right or wrong i wanted to image the m42 object without blooming the trapezium stars and using my nir longpass filter. i could...
Richard, There are no wrongs here (other than I have not won the Lottery yet!). I do think my proposed theory is correct. Idon't think you are gaining much...
We had a brief period of very good seeing a few nights ago (before the snow hit!). I have been trying to use such opportunities to get high-res red-filtered...
In addition to the more obvious globular clusters like M13 and M15, there are some small, dim globulars out there. Several of these are in the Palomar catalog....
hi Ron, Amazing resolution ! I also like the crab in red light. Hope you get some more arcsec seeing in the near future. clear skeis, Larry Citro ... the snow ...
