... According to TheSky6, NGC4565 is 15.8 arcmin across. If your resolution is 3 arcsec/pixel, that means NGC4565 would cover (15.8 * 60) / 3 = 316 pixels. ...
Howard, I use the Tak 180ED and LOVE it...I use the SXV-M25C chip....my main purpose was my love of widefield images. With that said, here are a few examples...
Hi Mike: Thanks for your reply. I did the same pixel calculation and you are right, that's not many. I guess even if my seeing conditions are limited to a few...
The lum and color do not interact. (Well, there is a slight brightening of the LUM data, but that is minor and not a problem if you anticipate it, or if you...
See below. Ron Wodaski ... In my experience, not so much. You can image the brightest, largest galaxies (e.g., M51, M81) but they will still be fairly small in...
Hi Ron: Thank you for your detailed comments (and thanks as well to Bud for your reply, and the peak at your lovely images). I've looked into Takahashi...
The AP 130 is a really good scope. My neighbor here has one and loves it, uses it often. But here's the thing about mounts. Understandably, one's first concern...
Hi Ron: Thanks again for the helpful information. I hope I can try one last question on you. I can see logic of getting a mount with a heavier carrying...
Why don't we let the group members who are using those mounts offer their comments? I'm biased - I always like the big, heavy mounts. <G> Any comments from...
I used to have a 5" Tak (FS-128) and G-11. Visually it worked just great. However it was on the hairy edge for CCD imaging. Getting it balanced just right took...
Hi, Ron writes in his book: You attach the camera the same way you would attach an eyepiece. You can mount CCD cameras in other ways on some telescopes, such...
A more secure connection would be a threaded one. I would recommend against using a diagonal with a camera, by the way. Flexure is likely, and it offsets the...
I'd put a word in for the CGE from Celestron. I've used one for about three years now and it works flawlessly. It has a nice weight amount....listed as 55lbs,...
Hi Howard, Not meaning to bash a product but after playing with several low end mounts I bought a new G11 with the precision worms and then spent the next 6...
While you guys are on the mount subject, I am looking for a smaller mount to use as a easier mobile imaging set up. I will use a FS60C and STV as a guider,...
Hey Guys, I know this is off topic but does anyone have any ideas of some software that is capable of saving copies of our images to a second location on a ...
Hi all, here may latest attempt of M63. http://www.dsi-astronomie.de/M63.htm Image data: - Date: 2006-05-20 - Scope/Mount: VC200L 8'' / Atlux unguided -...
The easiest solution (and one I use myself for something like this) is to simply use the built-in Windows XCOPY command in a batch file. You can set it up on a...
Thanks guys, just what I was looking for. I'll go the less expensive route with XCOPY first and see how that works:)) Steve _____ From: SBIG@yahoogroups.com...
I've had some requests to repost this message so here ya go! Our new web site is up and running and you can now register for AIC 2007. Please note the new web...
Hi: I am just about to order a Takahashi TOA-130, with EM-200 Temma II mount, with much appreciation to Ron and others who answered my earlier question about...
Hi Howard, ... At this point, it would be an ST-10XME. With my local and regional light pollution, H-alpha is the only imaging I can effectively do from...
I think your analysis is on the mark - in light polluted skies, the NABG cameras are usually the better choice. The ST-10 is pretty much my first choice for...
Hi Ron: Thanks for your quick reply, and also Jon's tip to look at Daniel Perry's site (I have before, and his results with the TOA-130 near LA are an...
