Kyudo? This sounds like one of those Eastern energetic things. Immediately you can tell that I've never had contact with kyudo, but I suspect you're going to ...
Hi from Springbrook<br>I will be under taking measuring on size and depth of craters and height of mountain on the moon.<br>Do you know anyone who has done ...
It's been quiet here! My dear wife let me buy a new camera, a ST-10e. I've only taken a few images but I'm very impressed. The download time is very loooong...
Hi Cal,<br>That pelican is very delicately imaged. And too big for my screen! The 10E certainly produces beautiful images! 3.2M pixels, eh? 6.8micrometre ...
Hi Cal (again),<br>Meant to mention the USB interface for Starlight Xpress has greatly reduced readout times, so maybe SBIG will be producing a similar...
Hi Serena, Thanks for your comments. I think many people are using bigger monitors and larger screen area selections. I like the higher resolution screen...
Oh my ! Cal, those are great. That new SBIG unit is quite the imager, eh? And... combined with the FSQ-106n, it is perfect. You have to try a LONG LRGB of M31 ...
Hi there Andre,<br>This is a common high school and college level project in astronomy classes these days. Try these links to help you on your way:<br><a...
Hi John,<br>I guess you're using 35mm? Very nice image. I notice that most of the excellent images published in the astro mags originated on film, so that ...
Hi John, I like your film shot! I like the sky around the object. It makes it more natural looking. <br><br>Thank you for the comments. I would very much like...
Hi Serena,<br>Yes, it was 35mm film... somthing I do very rarely these days. I had about 10 years of film attempts before I got successful results, then I ...
Hi Cal,<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>The key to Gendler-like work is time time time. His integration times are huge. That really does make all the difference. At that...
Hi John,<br>Actually I thought you might have been using a larger format - it's a beautiful image. However the expertise obvious in the image lead me to think...
Hi Serena,<br><br>That is a great idea, but I must confess that I am no good in a dark room these days. My patience for chemical work died out in my brain...
Hi John,<br>Ah, no. I wouldn't wish all that darkroom stuff on you. The S&T article I was thinking of was "Combining Exposures with Layer Masks" by Jerry ...
Hi Serena, I just re-read that article, and it is all becoming clearer to me now ;-) I shall give it a try. All I need are some clear moonless nights right...
I decided to try a Hutech light pollution filter and think it helps the light gradients in my monochrome images. However, I have the worst problems in the ...
I obtained color frames for the NGC6992 shot but forgot the Tak FSQ-106 does not like binned images very well. The color frames were binned 2x2 and made the ...
Hi Serena,<br><br>Thank you for your comments. Perhaps my perception of blockiness comes from the color frames used to add the color. The binned color frames ...
I image a small part of the nebula associated with Gamma Cygni or Sadr. The image is centered about 37 minutes east of Sadr. I used a SBIG standard H-alpha...
Cal - wow, you are really getting some spectacular results with that H-Alpha filter. Bravo! I'm just looking forward to more of your posts. Right now, we are ...
Thanks John,<br><br>I would like to give this filter some more sky time but I'm having cloudy weather too. I have to travel for a week so I expect clear skies...
Looks like clouds are taking over. It is supposed to clear out a bit tonight, but conditions will be rather rocky with a passing cold front... not the best ...
Hi John,<br>Very interesting. I haven't played with spectroscophy since my school physics classes and you're reminding me of that interest. You must let us see...
No problem Serena. I would be happy to share the design with anyone interested. If you have access to machine tools, then this becomes a fun little project. ...
Hi John,<br>The guys at Siding Springs have a device that just pops a fibre onto each of the stars they wish to examine. That way they can do a lot at a time....
We got a break in the clouds so I blindly set up on the northeastern portion of the nebulosity and cluster IC1396 in Cepheus. If your interested see: <a...
