It was a great night for observing and imaging last night... Managed for the first time this year to do some imaging before 9.00 pm then went over to Rick...
Hi All, Chris, that's a nice Mars image; F/58, whew! Take a look at the Saturn image I captured on the 6th. I also got an image with the Moons (7 of them) but...
Thanks Jim, Good Saturn - I will try myself tonight. I do not know of any commercial webcams for astronomy that have electronic (or other) cooling. Question:...
Jim, the Atik camera line started life as a webcam, although I don't know if they could still be called that. They are cooled, and fast, min 1/1000's. ...

And I'm in Palm Springs at a critical care medicine conference so I'll be gone too. ... And I'm in Palm Springs at a critical care medicine conference so I'll...
Hi All, I hope I won't be the only one again. I'll bring two imeages; on on using a three hole focuser mask and Saturn taken using the focus mask. It's easy...
You have me feeling guilty now, as I have quite a few new things I would love to discuss when I next attend. (New planetary images, more about Registax, my...
Hi All, I just posted an image I think you'll all be able to take something from. It's the 2nd in my group. I decided Saturn deserves to be first. Let me...

Hi Chris et al. Chris, you very aptly raised the color of astronomical objects. I've heard the professionals argue and then show an image that's RGB plus IR...
Hi Jim, Of course you can do a G2V calibration to determine the RGB multiplication factors for a given camera that will most approximately duplicate our visual...
Hi - Chris' comment re G2V calibration caused me to do a little web browsing. I was not familiar with this kind of photometry, as my goal isn't to duplicate...
Chris, you said 30fps appeared better than the 15fps subs. Just out of curiosity, had you tried 60fps? And do you think the image might have been sharper at...
Hi Ron, I have used 60 fps but did not see much difference between this and 30 fps. Also you have to ramp the gain up quite high to achieve enough image...
Thanks for this reference Jerome - very handy! Chris ... From: "Jerome Hudson" <hudsonjk@...> To: mdasimaging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 18,...
What camera did you use? You can stack in PS or Registax or a number of other applications. Chris -- It's a single shot done last night. I need to figure out...
Is there a Registax tutorial I can use somewhere? I'm trying to use it with my moon shots and I really don't know what I'm doing. I know that Jim presented...
I used my 350D. I tried doing Registax last night, but I'm not sure I used it correctly. The output is in a 25 mb bitmap file and I'm not sure how to convert...
Cool Stuart, I have mainly put .avi files through Registax but will try some DSLR images when I get back from Vancouver if you want any workflow pointers. Is...
Truly amazing images of the sun. Some of the video clips take a while to load but are worth the wait - on my Mac I have to download them first and then view.....
I can easily tell when the Moon is shown reversed, but I have difficulty with the Sun, Saturn, and Jupiter. Uranus and Neptune - well I guess it hardly...
Hi all, I'm starting to think about getting a webcam for my scope as Saturn is here. It needs to be light and portable as I have to set up and break down my...
