Simon, Those are very sweet pics. Can you give us a rundown of your imaging setup? It looks like you're using a ST80 for some of this. I'm currently...
Simon, you work with the Neximage is very impressive - a nice wide range of subjects, too. Pardon me while I go dump mine in the trash! Peter NYC In a message...
Does anyone know for sure what the mm of the neximage is? I had heard it was somewhere in the 4-5mm range, what I wanted to do was buy an EP thats as close...
A 9 mm or 10 mm eyepiece is a decent size to use for a first pass at focusing. What you want to do is to make an eyepiece parfocal with the NexImage....

Yea I was gonna suggest capturing 10fps, you want to play with tthe settings in k3ccd (if thats what your using), I captured my saturn with exposure time of...
First, thanks for your kind words.... Second, no-one should trash any images they take. I have found that astroimaging is way more difficult than I ever...
Simon, Thanks for the details of your setup. I'm excited by the prospect of trying some long exposures through my borrowed ST80 (piggybacked on a C11 on a CGE...
Hi... Many thanks for your comments. Actually, until now I've been using AMcap to capture my videos, but it doesn't allow me (as far as I can tell) to alter...
I tend to use iterative unsharp masks in Photoshop -- the process is intuitive to me because the sharpening radius is proportional to the image scale....

Hi Andre, You can indeed use a single image in RegiStax. And yes RegiStax carries all data from the stacking into the wavelet-section. In fact RegiStax only...
