... And the same to you, Steve. Congratulations on your imaging progress in 2006. ... You might want to take a closer look at the image (pixel) scale the ST-9 ...
right back at you , Steve.....and congrats on the upgrades, I think the CGE will really help out, and your images are showing it. good health and clear skies...
Mike, Happy New Year and thanks for responding! Unfortunately, I made a mistake in that post. I didn't mean the ST9. I have an older ST8XE that I purchased on...
hi steve...thought I'd replied to this. I like the pictures, you've been very busy. the new table method is very pleasing, the only downside that I can see is...
There are many RGB colorspaces to choose from when creating a new RGB image in PhotoshopCS2. Is there any specific one that is better suited for astro...
... Charles, FWIW, I create the RGB layer in Photoshop by importing the three master channels, clicking on the "channels" tab, clicking on the little arrow,...
Thanks Mark, I got that. I am referring to the Background layer document before the color data is added when you create a New Image document. You have the ...
You would choose a color profile based on your intended use of the image. If you were going to print the image on a specific printer, then you would be using...
Assuming you want to make pretty pictures, I suspect that you could use any camera you wanted. Sky & Telescope found that a 12" RCX400 illuminated a ...
Here's an interesting twist on the STL-11000/STL-6303 efficiency. Under dark skies, it's actually possible for the STL-11000 to go _deeper_ than the 6303 if...
Ron, thanks for this. One of these days, I'm going to want to replace the ST-10 we have on the little refractor with a large-chip camera, and you make the...
I finally linked the tabular images and provided imaging information: http://www.sorlando.com/astronomy/table01.html Now time to capture more images, but I'll...
Here's another interesting twist. It involves guiding. Due to the lower QE of many ABG cameras, they are less likely to record large guide errors. (Not enough...

Hi Steve, May I sugest you to use only 3 colums and a litle less space around the images and on the size of the text? Whith this, a entire line of images will...
The Meade software will not, to the best of my knowledge. Also, I believe that Orion has stopped producing them. Quality control issues. I think they are...
I shot an image of M33 last night in RGB, I tried to stay ahead of the moon to the west so as to not have TOO much gradients to deal with I shot 60min each...
The new Starshoot II that was recently released is a planetary camera. The Deep Space (DSCI) Starshoot II has yet to be released and is expected late...
 Luiz, That will most likely happen when I rearrange my website, which I should start tonight. I like the table format better than the frames format, though. ...
Still, you have to do the math to see if those additional sub-frames are going to help you enough. If the read noise is high enough, even a lot of additional...
Hi, I am using a Smart APC UPS unit (3000 VA)to supply power to my critical functions in my observatory. I want to somehow use it to detect a power off...
There is a limiting factor that I'm not sure has been discussed, related to Jason's point. Simply stated, I don't like taking exposures longer than about 30...
