Because the NexImage uses a CCD device with 5.6um pixels, f/20 in any telescope will just meet the Nyquest sampling rate for the camera. You may want to go a...
Thanks Philip - since you've done the calculations, (grin) what about f-30? ( I need that to get nice-sized planetary images with my little AP 130 f-6.) Does...
I've started to use the NexImage, and am having lots of difficulty focusing. Well, I should say, the lack of because there is TOO MUCH noise from the camera. ...
What equipment are you using? What are you imaging? Have you tried changing the exposure setting? Are you using I420 or RGB? What Kind of laptop? Only use the...
Hi all: I'm out here on my terrace practicing to image tonight in a few hours, but when I click on Start Capture, I get a box that says "Error 80070003:...
Thanks Jeff and others; I'll give it a try. Meanwhile, I was able to image by deleting an avi file that I had prepared to receive the images I planned to take...
wow, you can date stamp them? OMG I have been clicking set capture file, typing jibberish since I can't see the k/b in the dark and setting a filesize. I...

Well, that certainly gave me a hearty chuckle - "clear and precise psychic communication" is a better oxymoron than "military intelligence" or "jumbo shrimp"! ...
Actually - I usually start with the gain way up to aquire the target, because if it is out of focus and the gain is down, even a bright object can be...
Hmmm, I'm having focusing issues as well. At the finest focus objects still appears blurred. I even bought an motorized acufocus so I wouldn't have to bump...
Some people try taking a short avi and running thru registax to eliminate fuzziness problems with seeing. Then adjust the focus and repeat. Have you tried...
Have you collimated your scope? I believe that scope is f/4.9, and sensitive to collimation issues. Use a cheshire/sight tube to ensure rough collimation, and...
The images you see on the web that are finally posted are the result of a string of images that come from the nex image (captured in an AVI). These have...
I need some help here. I bought a neximage assuming it works OOB. I took some picks and someone told me my focal ratio is too low and will not work right....
I am certainlly no expert on this, but I think that you should just keep imaging with the equipment that you have. If truth be known we all fall short since we...
According to the Celestron NexStar 102SLT manual, the focal length is 660 mm (f/6.5). With a 2x barlow the effective focal length is 1320 mm. Jupiter has an...
Seeing is the key. I have a C8 (8" SCT) and use a 2X Barlow. If the NexImage camera is like a 4-5mm EP, and I use a 2X Barlow, the magnification is huge...
I am not sure it is so much focal ratio as focal length - for planetary imaging you need a big image, which means lots of magnification which means lots of...
