Revolutionary new telescope now available Dear Fellow Astronomers Worldwide, As a chemical research scientist, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to announce...
I currently own a st-237 and a st-9e(parallel, st-4 guiding ccd). Current imaging scope is a SCT. Given all the issues with mirror flop, tube flexure and the...
Dear Group, My third attempt to image the Sombrero Galaxy has met with some success. Click on the link to the Hubble image for comparison. Image with music...
Personally, I would probably opt for the Pyxis route in your case. Neither option is without potential need of careful calibration and alignment since your...
Roth, Thanks for the input. That is how I kind of look at it as well. Given the successful images I have scene on your site your advice is greatly appreciated....
Hi; This is my first post in a long time to this group. I hope someone can give me some advice regarding selecting an ota to be used for ccd astro imaging. I...
Thkx Ruben for no audio and ActiveX. You seem to have added more data, true? No stats with your image. The inner portions of the dust lane seems to have...

No problem, I had a Pyxis for a while but changed over to an STL11k which meant upgrading everything that was 2" because of vignetting. Now of course they have...
Joe, Stats are on the page with music. Image was 30 minutes each with L, R, G, B, all unbinned, Meade12R, AP reducer 0.67x. I lost another 30 min L in the...
... I've done both, and my opinion is that the choice depends on the type of imaging you want to do. I've used a Pyxis with an ST-8 camera. The Pyxis is...
Adrian, Although I have a NexStar 11 GPS, I have found that some of my best CCD images have come from my 400 mm focal length Astro-Tech 66ED. Caela perlucida, ...
Ruben, That is very impressive. Good Job!! Caela perlucida, "Dollar" Bill Logan, Director, Chief Astronomer (and local artist) Robert Burnham Jr. Memorial...
Wait until you see the photon lube I am working on for next year. Caela perlucida, "Dollar" Bill Logan, Director, Chief Astronomer (and local artist) Robert...
... Some off-brand (Com-Tron?) 300mm f/5 refractor I picked up on Astromart. It and the ST-402 are clamped to a dovetail rail beneath the SCT, so the camera is...
Ehhh! Today is the 2nd of April. Damn, missed it by that much:-) Luke. ... From: ccd-newastro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ccd-newastro@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Very nice shot Ruben, the resolution is incredible ! Nicolas Outters http://www.astrosurf.com/nico-outters/astro/index.html ... From: "stardoctor5"...
Here is an early morning M16 Ha test image taken at 5am, just before sunrise. http://www.imagingtheheavens.com/JMSM/m16-Ha-FalseColor-sm.jpg This is a single...
Bill; Yeah, I assumed that wide field deep sky imaging with a compact short focal length scope is the best way to get started in ccd astro imaging. Even though...
This M106 was imaged about a week ago from our new location in New Mexico. http://www.imagingtheheavens.com/JMSM/m106-LRGB-small.jpg Imaged with a 6" TMB152 f8...
Adrien, Welcome back! Imaging is all about mastering a whole bunch of steps, most of which aren't very complex individually, but, taken together, constitute a...
... flop, ... Hi Jim, I see you've already gotten some good responses. Here's my experience. I use ACP for my automated imaging. My setup is "remote" in that...
Mike, I guess I would have known the answer to my question that I asked IF I had read the email you sent out. That's why I give my kids a break in my...
Attached is a URL for my image of the Cone Nebula. It is a composite of images taken with an AP 130 EDFS and AP 155 EDFS with total exposure time of 10 hours...
