sounds like dust but it's probably glued on from being out in the cold and then coming into warm house-condensation, so that's why it doesn't get blown off....
Monti: Sorry for this tome of an email, but I just thought I would describe my glass cleaning method that I've good success with. I agree with Jim. Give it a...
Monti: If you are referring to black spots as opposed to individual black pixels, your problem may be dust particles on the cover glass. Try cleaning the...
Hi Monti; Perhaps the key might be your statement that, when you rotate the imager, the black spots do not rotate. That sort of lets out the chip or the spots...
Hi Jeff; You're right. I took Monti's post to mean that as he rotated the imager, the spots did not rotate. If the spots rotate with the imager, then the...
Hi evrybody, Thanks for all the advice on the black specks. Concerning the "rotation" question, I did in fact mean that when I rotated the imager, the speck...
Hi again, This is an update to the "black speck" problem. After having cleaned the cover glass of the Neximage, I had a 4 hour imaging session wednesday night,...
Greetings, I finally had a clear night to image and I am posting my latest Mars. Taken through my C8 at f42 with the Celestron Neximage, 1320 frames stacked. ...
I wiped my imaging computer and reinstalled everything. Previously I had upgraded AMCap to a less buggy version than that shipped with the camera, but now...

Hi Brian - Very nice Mars image! I like seeing your work - it lets me set a ultimate goal for my own C8 photo work - can I try to get an image as good as Brian...
Brian: Like George, I also have a C8 and am also amazed at the quality of your C8 images. Would you mind telling us what process you use to collimate your C8?...
Leonard & George, I do thank you for the nice comments and I am attaching 2 older threads that may help you get the same results. Please see below: ...
Leonard - Here is a link to some good collimation info: http://legault.club.fr/collim.html Good luck! - George ... quality of your C8 images. Would you mind...
All: I have posted one of my best first-try images of Mars. In the image one can pretty plainly see the polar ice cap, Oxia Palus, Niliacus Lacus & Sinus...
I may as well weigh in with a pic I just took on the 15th as well. It's the best I've done to date with Mars. We had our notional 29 deg (F) weather here in...
Hi everyone, Its nice seeing all these Mars pictures being posted!... After my three imaging sessions last week, I guess its my turn. The posted image was...
Hi again, I forgot to mention that the posted Mars image was in Monti's Pictures. http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/neximage/photos/ Bye, Monti....
Dave, Nice shot you got! May I suggest that you remove the diagnol? It isn't necessary and may/probably steals some light, scope, barlow then Neximage. Best...
