Greetings to all, I have posted my first reasonable solar images in my bnd1430 folder. Each sun spot 953 image is about 800 frames stacked in Registax and ...
Hello from the new "Peekaboo ICU" Observatory in Ilion, NY. Long name...interesting viewing. We had fun determining the new name of our observatory. North East...
Nice that you had an observatory in one week or so... I'm building my own place ant this takes all my free time. In my case I'll have to work some more week...
Hi Andreas, Very nice picture indeed. A lot of work involbved to build such an image. I am intrigued by the sharpness of Saturn, something which I have trouble...
Hi all, Does anyone know of any software that would assist in getting a good focus on a planetary image? What would be good is something that provides a metric...
Good luck with that. The screen is so fuzzy you can't see a thing. I made a simple Hartman mask for my scope and it works like a charm. There is a feature in...
There is also a focus graph of some sort in K3ccd tools but i never know if low numbers are better or high numbers are better. When the moon is out, i've used...
I am trying out K3CCD Tools imaging software, and the trial (deluxe) version has a focusing aid - although it did not seem to work as I expected it to for me,...
Subject: Peekaboo ICU Observatory Update I am getting to know more about the care of the Explora-dome. Perhaps this will solve some of the queries. To answer...
Greetings, I got a good Jupiter image last night despite the clouds & haze. http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/neximage/photos/view/d32d?b=32 I think I must...
Tommy, Thank you and I was downright impressed with that image. I took 17 avi's and only that one had good seeing. I have order flocking material for my C8 so...
Ok, you caught me Rob! I was doing some housecleaning - just some leftovers I didn't take off the files section. There's been A LOT of spammers trying to get...
I have been using a computer-store-dustbin webcam home adapted for my scope, with some success in lunar imaging and little success with planetary imaging. I...
I found a little program called QCFocus (free download) but haven't used it extensively. I am waiting for my NexImage to arrive (have been using a webcam) so I...
Here is a reasonable Jupiter from early this morning. 882 frames through My C8S-GT with 2.5x Powermate and a W.O. 1.6x Barlows (f/40) stacked with Registax and...

Just thought I would throw my hat in the ring with my new images from my new Neximage. Scope - C8 (vintage 1970's orange tube) with 2x Orion Shorty Barlow. I...
Hi Hunter, I use a Baader UV/IR filter with the Nextimage but to realize any advantage with this filter, you will first need to remove the camera's built in...
Peter, Thanks. I got lucky on the first night, but on the second, it was supposed to be excellent seeing by the clear sky clock, but I really think the first...
David, The installed filter issue with the Neximage is VERY confusing. Some posts here say there is no filter, some say there is. Some info says the filter...

I am still waiting for my NexImage (on backorder) but check out message #1692 in this forum and the thread around it. It seems the NexImage has an IR filter...
Thanks, Michael. I had seen that and that conclusion is one of the reasons I had decided to go ahead with the Celestron filter. The reason I went for the...
HI Hunter, Look at the sensor in your camera, if you see a pink reflection the camera has the built in filter. The IR filter is bonded to the CCD cover slip. I...
