Hi Nicolas, I had to work with the colorbalance in Photoshop, because I merged everything and would wave to start processing almost from the beginning on (I...
Folks, I'm very excited to announce the availability of a new version of my image evaluation software tool, StarSieve. Version 1.0.5 provides many enhancements...
Hello, I'm working with ST10XME, TheSky and CCDSoft (all latest update). When I start PoleAlignMax (PAM) I get a SaveImge of a very little size (approx. 2" x...
Hi Guido, I think you may have a subframe defined in CCDSoft when starting PAM. PAM does not alter the subframe setting in CCDSoft, so whatever it was set to...
Hi Paul, Maybe OT my question being this a CCD (more or less dedicated CCD astrocameras) but do you think that someday you will support 16 *.TIFF images from...
Hi Rainer, Actually, yes. I have been testing the code to support the 16-bit TIFF files, and it appears to be nearly ready to go. If you'd be willing, I can...
Exellent update Paul, i try it on some images took with AO7 and it's very usefull to know where is a too high deflection, and without AO to center the sensor.....
-Even when the seeing is not that great and your FWHM is large, processing can help in getting tighter stars. Ccdsoft Ver. 5.0 has a Lucy Richardson...
Wow, I thought this thread was done ;) Pictures speak a thousand words, Wayne! Thanks for sharing that! I'm curious. What parameters did you set for your L-R...
Hi Paul, That is great news :-) They are all RGB. I think that we DSLR'lers do nearly 99.9% RGB images. It makes not very much sense to make them in B&W, IMHO....
C/2005 P3 (SWAN) The new comet is in UMa. Magnitude about 10.0. This was a tough one for me because it was already low in the sky at sunset. I imaged it down...
Great! I'll let you know when I have something to test. Sounds like TIFF would be the primary format to support for DSLRs. Regards, -Paul ... do ... in ... ...
I my folder in the photo's section, I posted a .jpg of my M27 image, I've auto-dark subtracted, and made a few histogram changes in photoshop. Now what? It has...
James, You have a good start with your image. What you really need of course is more intergration time with alot more signal. Can you post some details about...
Wayne, Maybe I missed part of this thread as I have been away for a month. I wanted to add that it is unrealistic to calculate FWHM in arc-seconds at an image...
Hi Bob, Actually, my goal while taking this image, was to learn to use the camera's auto-guide feature, wich I think I did successfully. It's a single, fifteen...
Hi Richard, Thanks for adding your thoughts on this. I've been pretty much reassured - my gut reaction when I took this measurement was concern that I would...
My thought is that seeing is irrelevant. Your local sky conditions are what they are and you cannot change that. Either your going to image or not...maybe if...
I have a problem I do not understand... I have an ST-7, AO7, LX-200 10 classic. The color wheel has not yet been installed.... I notice that I am getting...
Eric I would not give up (at long focal) just yet. Calculate your seeing first to get a rough idea of what you have. I may be wrong because I am not an expert...
... Check your dark frames for hot pixels. Since the dark is subtracted from the light image, a really bright pixel in the dark frame will turn that pixel...
... The image looks well-guided (although it's hard to tell for sure, since images in the Photos section can't be viewed at full size; if you upload to the...
I don't think that's good advice. Here's why. * The seeing changes from night to night - even from hour to hour and minute to minute. Knowing what your seeing...
You might try a sigma-reject combine of your dark frames to see if that improves your results. You may be suffering from bright pixels in the darks that are...
Jim, I used to get these, also, and it's really a pain. I did several things, and I now don't get them. I don't know if any one solved it, but now that...
Jim, If you are using Photoshop CS there is a procedure that you can do that remove the spots. First, after you open the image, open levels and brighten the...
Hi, I want to run CCDSoft with my ST402XME as a guider on my laptop. I know that works fine. The guider downloads an image approximately every 3 seconds. I...
... For photometry, there appears to be one application that has the edge on all the others - MPO Canopus. The reason for this is that it has the ability to ...
