Hi Group, I too got out in the "cool" (never really "cold" here in Houston although it can be uncomfortable) and shot Orion. I have added 2 photos to my...
Robert, Your image of M 42 is very nice! I like the wispy detail you pulled out! I was looking at your other images and they have nice round stars well ...
Rock, I have a question. On the M42 image in my folder, I noticed small black boxes around the stars within the nebulosity (usually not noticeable on stars...

Robert, When I make a dark frame, I do the following. I have the camera installed on the scope and running. I then cover the open end of the scope with a ...
Rock, A 5 minute DVD segment converts to a 7500 frame, 7.5 GB AVI file. I then use VirtualDub to 'decimate" the AVI by only saving every 54th frame to a new...

Jack, O.k., that's what I figured. A big file. Can you explain how you make VirtualDub take every 54 frames. Is it done manually or is there a command for this...
Rock, Open up VirtualDub, click on "Video" on the top bar, click on "Frame Rate", click on "decimate by", type in 54, and click on OK. I also click on "audio"...

Nice picture Jack. That is one of my favorite objects. It's such a big galaxy! Last month I had NGC 253 on the 26" widescreen. It was impressive, although I...
Jack, Wow! Most impressive!! How many AVI frames before using Virtual Dub and after using Virtual Dub? Which scope did you use? Which camera? MC PRO or the MC...
Paul, I took the three images of NGC 253 using my 17.5" TeleKit at last week's Deep South Regional Stargaze near Norwood, LA. The skies were appreciably ...
Rock, I was using the 17.5" with your new MFR-2. It appears to give a much wider field of view than your former focal reducers. And I was using the Peltier ...
Jack. Have you ever tried IMerge to make mosaic images like yours? It has feature to eliminate lines between images. I'm been taken images of M 82 at its ...
Hi Jack, I downloaded Virtual Dub. I reviewed all the help files. What menu do you use to "decimate" the video to pull out the duplicates? Paul Maag ... ...

Hi Rock, If you are using NTSC, your refresh rate at X128 is every 2.13 seconds. At 30 frames per second, the Decimate number would be 64 if you did not drop...
Hi Dan, I just figured that one out this afternoon. I will post the images "as is" from stacking them in RegiStax and stretched in RegiStax in the file ...
Dan, I've just uploaded a new file in Processing section. I just restocked the images to make sure it was not a mistake. I must admit, I am puzzled as well. I...
Hi Rock, Still a mystery. What would help is a single frame to compare against the two others (all stretched the same amount). By stacking just five unique...

Dan, I agree with you. I will further double check everything especially the uncompressed AVI file. As soon it clears out here, I'll do further imaging /...
