Improved image increase saturation http://www.pbase.com/maxmsm/image/105340208 old http://www.pbase.com/maxmsm/image/105279277/large I think in is better! Max ...
That's a big change. This is on object lesson in what Mark mentioned: remember to check whether you have enough color detail to increase the saturation. <G> ...
I was imaging M74 last night and while processing today I noticed a couple of streaks in the combined image even though I used SD Mask in Maxim. I checked in...
My refractor Lumicon 80 mm/f3.7 has a short back focus. In order to use a ccd camera I need to fit a Barlow 2x, then the f will be 7.4. If I place Barlow 2x...
When you use optical elements in creative ways, sometimes they will interfere with each other, or magnify each other's limitations. I wouldn't expect a...
Sounds like you need a transfer lens. A double achromat combination ( Edmunds catalogue!) would probably be a better idea. If you could find a couple of lenses...
Thanks Ron and Ken, I have heard that the Baader Glasspath compensator, used in binocular viewer, can prolong the focus. Perhaps it could be usefull in this...
Hi Friends. What does the group think about backing up image files on 2 external hard drives rather than burning the data to a CD-ROM or DVD? Thanks. Gordon...
Works great. You can put a ton of files on an external hard drive, and you can hand-carry it to another computer if you need to. I always have several external...
I would think both. Either technology is going to change and the question for how long do you want to be able to recall it. I have had both systems go...
Hi all, I noticed that in the latest ccdcalc version, it's not possible to move the FOV rectangle on the picture anymore. Is this a known bug? Thanks! Fabio...
I just downloaded the lastest version from Ron's website and it says on the instructions it is 1.4.20 but the Help/About in the software says it is 1.5.0. I...
I'm in the process of porting the CCD Calculator to Dot Net (from VB6). Many features are going to disappear and then reappear. This was a strange bug-fix...
Hi Gordon, Yep, that's all I do nowadays. CDs and DVDs, like Floppy Disks, are 'passé'. I use a three-HDD setup, in a 'Grandfather, Father, Son' mode. I have...
Conditions were not always favourable when I took this image over several nights ( fog banks, bright moon), which shows the vast emission nebula in Cepheus. It...
Hi Niall, A very impressive system, but too complicated for my current knowledge base. I think I will stick with 2 HDDs. Gordon ... have a ... the 'Father' ...
Yes Gordon, it is a system that is too complicated for my needs as well - but it does show that a system can grow out of control !! That said, the fundamantal...
RAID does have a weakness. If there is some electrical event, such as a surge, it may take out all of your hard drives. And of course one would need to set up...
Ron, Norton Save and Restore is one such backup program for Windows. I have used it with some reservations. It works OK but seems to be somewhat slow. Right...
