Hi Monti, there are programs like Sattracker which make a goto telescope follow a satellite. And in this particular case it was quite a bit of luck too. ...
... to ... ISS ... for ... Monti: One way this can be done with Neximage is to capture the station when it passes between your location and the Sun. Many sky ...
Hi, The Canadian Space Agency has sponsered a Mars photo contest to mark the recent opposition. I submitted one of my photos taken with the NI and the winners...
Hi Edgar, Yes it is suitable for solar imaging - both white solar and h-alpha types of setups. For white light - you may want to decompose your final image...

Thanks Sean, I ordered a solar filter thinking just about observing but now I can't wait to get it (in the next 2 days hopefully) to capture images. I will be...
Give me some pointers... Is there anyone willing to stack and process some movies of mine for me the best they can to give me something to strive for?? I'm so...
Hi, The first problem I see is the size of the image. It is very small. Does a NexStar 130 telescope have a 130mm objective (about 5 inches? NI produces frames...
... Ya, it is pretty small, I'm not sure... 130mm objective, 5 inch aperture, 2x barlow and the NI... That was the output I got using a program called "macam"...
Hi, I just posted one of the Mars pictures taken with the NI and two 2X barlows, giving a magnification of 2000X. With the two barlows, the NI, and my 8 inch...
... NexImage w/ a moon ... You really need more magnification. Here's what you might be able to achieve (I'm fairly new, also), with your scope, the NI, and 2...

Congratulations Monti! I just picked up a Neximage and I'm new to the group. Looking forward to playing with it once the new equipment clouds pass. If I can...
Hello, Here is my first attempt at Saturn and the first question about it: What causes the horizontal lines? It was taken with a Meade DS-2102mak, Neximage on...
YOu need to increase the number of images to at least 700 and play with the settings a bit. It looks like you need more brightness nad your focus may be out. ...
Thanks Mathew! I was guessing the number of frames was too low (by the setting descriptions on other posts). Will put your advice to use on my next outing,...
Thanks Ted, For the magnification, I base it on "the equivalent eyepiece" FOV. On my 8 inch CS, the Neximage bare is roughly equivalent in terms of Field of...
