I've developed a problem with my NexImage I'd like your advice on. Last night I went out to film Jupiter. I noticed that as Jupiter drifted to the top of the...
This looks like a chip problem to me, Gary. You might call Celestron and ask them if they have seen it before. Maybe the Registrax program can't handle the...
I've added a photo that shows the pinstripe effect: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/neximage/photos/view/5c77?b=5 If I try to sharpen the image more, the...
George & Gary, Gary, that doesn't look good at all, it looks like dead cells. Try this program "camdiag" and see what it tells you. it may point you in the...
Greetings, I posted my best from June 1 in my bnd1430 folder. I like this one because I have a good view or Oval Ba aka red spot jr just to the lower left of...
Beautiful shot, as always Brian! Here was the best I could do last night with my C8, my wounded (perhaps fatally) NexImage, and poor seeing conditions (the sky...
Great shots by both of you !!! Brian keeps approaching Hubble quality with his photos, and I wish I could have your success with a "wounded" Neximage, Gary !! ...
George, Try this page for collimation: http://legault.club.fr/collim.html Read it a few times before you start. Use a small eyepiece, say 12mm or lower with no...
Howdy, There's some new (free) software called MetaGuide available that (among other things) helps with collimation via a webcam -- NexImage is supported. You...
Hi Andre You do know there is a special tool for your particular Jupiter problem I have heard them called chain saws but I'm just an armature. Of coarse a less...
LOL. I do have a chainsaw, but I also have a spouse and neighbors who would probably object to the tree removal so I'm afraid that option is out. A buddy of...
Jerel, gain (and gamma) were both at zero, 10 fps, 1/10 sec exposure, ~400 of 1000 frames in R3. As far as collimation goes, the "donut" was centered on an...
Hi All, My Dell lap top 20Gb hard drive is running out of room so I want to get a larger replacement. At 4200rpm my current drive drops more frames than it...
... or maybe not. Just for fun, I took an avi of my star test. Reviewing the movie, it does appear that the "donut hole" is not exactly centered (close...
... I have Bob's knobs. They are definitely easier to use than the factory adjustments. Almost a mandatory upgrade for any scope. Replace ONE at a time. DO NOT...
I have them on my C8. Great thing. But to get the kind of collimation you need for planets (especially Jupiter) you need to go beyond just centering the...
OK......I am about to buy some for my N11 GPS........I have had the scope for about 3 yrs...and I have done NOTHING to it.....other than a few VERY useful...
I guess I mean, is it better for me to do the Red LED thing, or is a star better? And If I can't see Polaris from my back yard, is a brighter, or dimmer star...
Forget the red LED. A good star is best. Polaris is good because it hardly moves. If you have a motor drive you can use another star as well. Gary ... a star...
... A second magnitude star is best because a brighter star is so dazzlingly bright it is hard to see the differences in the diffraction rings when you tweak...
Jess, I have had my C8 for just over a year and I haven't installed Bob's knobs. Took a Philips screwdriver and adjusted it about 9 months ago and it is still...
J, Use the brightest star you can, make sure it is high in the sky, the highest magnification you can, don't us any diagonal and recenter the star often. Take...
hi gary-just saw your saturn shot-amazing! I have the Meade 8 and just started using my Neximage. Would you mind telling me when you shot the image; did you...
Thanks for the tip. That is on my list of accessories, for sure. About 6 months ago I bought a Denkmeier Power X Switch 2" diagonal. This thing is fantastic,...
Actually, I'd have to disagree with you here Brian. Mirror flop would still occur with the feather-touch because it still moves the primary mirror (we're...
