Hello, I need astronomy movies(DVD, VIDEO, AVI etc.)in 3D staill. Does any one know where I can get/download astronomy and space movies? Especially in 3D? Kind...
Thanks Larry. I recently purchased a new monitor because the old monitor turned anything gray to a sickly purple color so processing images was difficult. I...
Well, these past few nights have been clear enough to allow for some quick imaging sessions. I should have been collimating a C-14 <sigh> but I didn't have the...
Hi John, do you see the same sort of star when you are observeing? The blooming I can understand but the little smear to the left of the star puzzels me Larry...
That is coma... a classic case of it. Newtonians will show that, especially with stars on the edge of the field and when using instruments so sensitive as...
Hi John. Your images got me interested in the problem with the newtonians. I checked one out in the club and it had the same coma. I'm told it is the clips...
Hi Larry, Clips can often produce very odd and unwanted image distortion in any telescope system, but the coma in Newtonians is not caused by the clips. If...
Hey John I really enjoy reading what you have to say . How else would I learn what others are doing and thinking? Larry [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hello Cal, Well I've now bought a Philips Toucam 740K. However when I try to load an .AVI file into Registax it says "cannot decompress first image" (or...
Hello Serena, I just found out that Yahoo had changed my email preferences and I have not seen any messages for I don't know how long. I'm sorry I did not get...
Hi Cal, Registax supplied the answer to the problem. I had recorded the video with an audio track (didn't think about the audio side). Fortunately the images...
Anyone getting ready to image Mars? I saw it this morning at 4:00am nice and high in the sky. Yawn. A bit early in the morning though. August should be good! ...
... Hello John, Yes, indeed. Probably not quite in the way you have in mind. I'm about to pour concrete. My pier at Port Melbourne allows too much vibration,...
... Well, congratulations on the new concrete pour! I hope it all goes well and in an uneventful manner! We had to do the same thing when we poured. A truck...
Mars is a centre of attention and I'm sure all of you are busy taking pictures of the planet, but where are they? Time to start putting them in the "planets"...
Hi Folks, not much activity going on in this group. Or, rather, you're not talking about your activities for I know most of you are using your scopes. Yes, I'm...
In the last 6 weeks of imaging about every night I got 2 nights that did not have upper atmosphere problems so you are right about the frustrations aspect of...
... use ... The camera is a Philips ToUcam webcam with added IR filter. Generally I take 1000 to 1500 frames and then employ Registax 2 for selecting and...
... use ... Perhaps I should have added that the scope is a Meade 10" SCT f/10 with a 3x barlow, so the Mars images were taken at an effective f/30 for an...
Some more Mars images. I am slowly getting the hang of taking planetary images, but I have to admit that it can be the most tedious thing ever in the imaging...
... I have wondered how vibration free fans could be made at affordable prices. The improvement in definition without the fan is quite marked. Now all you have...
Heheheh! Yep! You are right. Some day I'll get a webcam... for now, the b&w imaging of the 237 will have to do. Yes - I was really amazed at the overall trauma...
I was able to do some Mars imaging last weekend under fabulous skies. What was particularly interesting is how fast the South Polar Cap is receding! Compared...
Here are a couple of new images taken last night... It was the first clear night in many a long while. Both are galaxies in Pegasus. Both of the objects are...
I spent the first ten minutes of the aurora show watching them while on my back in the grass in the front yard... then it came to me: FILM THIS! So... I went...
