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...
Thanks, David. That's very helpful. I will check my camera, but if it has the filter, I think I will leave it alone and go ahead and use the Celestron UV/IR...
Hunter - I have found that SOME filter is needed to prevent dust from getting on the CCD. Might as well provide UV/IR filtration while it is at it !!! If is is...

Tried some solar imaging with the Neximage the other day. Using an Orion ED80 with Orion glass solar filter, televue 2x barlow. I think it worked OK for a...
Hey everyone, Please feel free to submit any of your fairly recent images taken with the Neximage into the "...SUBMIT" folder of the Photos section. Any ...
Thanks Jerel. I sure would like to see more images here on this group. I think we could learn a lot from each other with discussion of our images. Hunter ......
How did you get Filaments???? I have a 4" Nexstar102 and a Baader filter stopped to about 60mm LOL I can't get ANY filaments. thanks for this Jeff ... From:...
Jeff, I dunno. I put a Celestron UV/IR cut filter on the Neximage and put that into the Orion ED80 with no barlow and with the Televue 2x barlow. My filter...
I have only used my NexImage 2 times. The link below contains my photos from my second attempt. I have a NexStar 8i. I thought these photos looked pretty...
I think your images DO look pretty good. I've only used my NexImage a few times due to v. poor seeing and extreme light pollution where I am. I rarely bother...

For only using it twice, you are doing very well. I am learning myself and to me you seem to be right on the ball. Keep experimenting and having fun. I did...
Those look great, especially the moon shots, but Jupiter is also impressive. All are better than my first shots. What OTA are you using? For Jupiter and Saturn...
Your images really look good for a 2nd attempt! I suggest you take as many images/avi's as possible while adjusting the fps and gain settings as possible. I...
Jerel, I am using a 8" SCT with XLT coatings. I spent about 2 hours collimating the scope before these photos, we have just had horrible seeing lately. I...
Took this June 23. Seeing was average, but I had my new Televue 2x barlow and Celestron UV/IR cut filter. I don't know if it was the seeing or the new stuff,...
Hunter, I'd be thrilled if I captured Saturn in an image half as good as yours. What was your seeing like? Thanks, Peter NYC (where the seeing is boiling all...
Thank you, Peter. I gripe about the light dome from my nearby town of 20,000 people but forget what others have to deal with every night. My environment is an...

Peter, Nice setup. I often get envious of you folks with the larger refractors. Very nice. I have chosen to go with a little larger SCT - one with better...
