Hi, I'm planning in buying a Kaf-09000 based camera. It will be used in a TOA-150 telescope. Does the pixel size (12 microns) to big for this scope??? Antonio...

Antonio, There's no such thing as "too big." ;) It's a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like smaller pixels with short focal length scopes,...
Hi All, Here is a 10 hour LRGB image of Hubble's Variable Nebula taken in January from the backyard observatory. We've had alot of rain this winter and images...
Hello everybody, I'm hoping somebody could tell me why my flats have this irregular pattern at the top of the frame. The link below is of a Lum 28sec sky flat...
That looks a lot like frost. Ron W ... From: ccd-newastro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ccd-newastro@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of troyduval1018 Sent: Sunday, March...
Hi Ron, My light images that night did not show this pattern? Could it still be frost? Troy Wodaski - Yahoo <yahoo@...> wrote: That looks a lot like...
I wouldn't know for sure; that's just an observation. I'm saying that the pattern in that one image looks like frost. That doesn't mean that it is; it just...
I will give that a try. Thanks for the quick response. Troy Wodaski - Yahoo <yahoo@...> wrote: I wouldn't know for sure; that's just an observation....
I have had the same pattern that was frost and disappeared as time passed. I could take successive images (a few seconds apart) and see it receding. Baking...
Hi Bob, Very nice detailed image of one of my favourite objects, not an object often imaged. I had a go myself in January but with a much shorter exposure. Rob...
I have had the same experience as George mentions. It is a clear indication that it is time to bake the dessicant. However, if it does recede over time you can...
Hi there.... At the moment my set up consists of a Mead ETX125PE coupled with a Mead DSI1 camera. As I am a very raw learner and as yet have not really used...
i just downloaded the plug in for OSC flats for CCDSoft 5.0.0.187. My question about using it is this: Do i need to use the plug in on each single flat before...
Either method should work and produce a similar result. The plug-in operates on the raw data, so it shouldn't matter whether that data is from a single image...
Hi Robert, Thanks. And, yes, there's definitely some processing done on it--a bit more than I normally prefer... I guess I was trying to overcome the bad ...
I just got my camera last month and have yet to get a picture to take, daytime or nightime. I've not been cold enough or long enough sessions for either...
Danny, Nice work! If I may make a suggestion, there's no substitute for exposure time, especially when using narrow band filters. With that mount, and a short...
A bit of a newbie at this, and have a limited budget, so the SBIG cameras and their like are a little out of my current price range. But do have about $700 to...
Hi Dennis, Have you considered a DSLR instead? You can get a great, multi- purpose camera with a huge field of view for astrophotos. Just a thought. Best, ...
Or look for a Starlightxpress SX-M7C one shot color camera. I see them on Astromart occasionally but not sure the price range. one shot color are ok if you...
I thought the Lambda Centauri nebulosity or "Running Chicken Nebula" (IC 2948) would be worthy of a shot :-) RHaRGB = 30 90 30 30 30min AP152EDF F7.5 Starfire,...
Thanks Danny Well, that is a consideration, as I do have a Nikon D70 Camera. Although from wandering web pages and looking at photographs, most appear to have...
Hi Dennis The Atik 16IC monochrome camera is a pretty good way to go (cooled, 16 bit), though it will pretty much eat up your initial budget. Despite the good...
