I tried it but couldn't get Photoshop to differentiate between them so had to delete Liberator :) Someone posted a while back that they were using both,...
Hi Eddi, I know how you feel about deleting Liberator <GG>. In the moment I am using your plugin with PS7 and the other fellow with PScs Regards, Rolf...
hi thanks..i noticed there was a bit of a magenta cast to the image..i used the IDAS LPS filter when shooting this...the filter changes the exposure times a...
Hello friends, Nothing but clouds, so I took the opportunity to go back and reprocess the Witches Head, IC 2118. Many had pointed out to me that it had a ...
Hi guys, Is there anyone doing fully remote imaging using satellite internet? I am considering full remote operations using a satellite internet connection....
Ron.... I agree with you and Steve, but object S/N is an important concept that helps to explain many issues, such as why binning or reducing focal ratio...
Hello, I'm still overwhelmed by how much I still need to learn in order to get an acceptable print image. Image acqisition is getting easier but post...
Bud, I'm glad you had another go at this and very much like your results. It is very similar to what I took in terms of color of this great object a few...
Don, thank-you, your image is just beautiful.....I had wondered at the slight magenta cast, but another imager had said that he was able to get a considerable...
... Are you trying to make a "pretty-picture" image of M100 with SN2006X, or are you just trying to show the supernova? If the former, I suggest you bin the...
I'm going more for the "pretty picture". Don't get me wrong, the supernova is clearly visible in the color picture but it's rough (M100) that is. I'll try...
Im looking for some opinions on imaging with a 10inch F6.3 OTA, and a ST7XME, what if any more reduction can be added, if theres any diffrence, pros- cons- ...
... Thanks for the comments Mike. I do usually shot 2x binning for the colour, but was interested in what 1x would give me, apparently not enough ;) As for...
Sorry to not let this die, but then what is the advantage of binning 2x2 color? It seems from what you are saying that you would get the same signal from the...
It's all about signal to noise ratio. If you reduce every question to this (of course, that may not be a trivial thing to do!), the answers will always make...
Over relatively small detectors this may be true, but not for large fields. A flat-field corrector needs to be optimized for the specific optics. Generic...
Quite correct. According to Markus, the TV 0.8 will work well for smaller CCD cams. The larger ones require the specific match. The "best" one, as requested...
Steve, when I have asked this same question the response that I have received is that the camera readout noise is reduced by binning and that is the advantage....
Steve, binning helps you increase the signal to noise ratio, as Ron said. Binning 2x2 means that your camera now considers 4 pixels as one unit, thereby...
Steve... I see that you have received a few replies, all of which are correct, in that the advantage of binning reduces readout noise. However, if the ...
I should have added Richards link for the sub-exposure calculator! http://www.ccdware.com/resources/subexposure.cfm Actually, I put some figures in and came up...
The link that you provided is for John Smith's subexposure calculator, which works quiet well. I have provided another analysis for determining subexposure...
... only ... Steve, another thing to consider, at least when talking about SBIG cameras [I don't know how other cameras work], is that the values of the pixels...
hi group, any detailed references out there (websites, etc) on analysis of PEC data. i.e., how to determine what's due to polar alignment, what's due to weight...
Sorry, I meant to say on Richards site. I tried your resource too and again came up with a very short exposure of 1 minute. I live with around Mag 5 skies.. ...
