Seems that my dog has been into ALPO longer than I. Thanks for the link! Wyatt, out. From: William Dembowski, FRAS Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 10:27 AM To:...
In reply to Bill Dembowski's message about the newsletter for ALPO, the hyperlink to their site is incorrect and should be: http://www.alpo-astronomy.org/ ...
Nice one Monti! I did a moon shot last week also. When I processed in Registax 4 I did a multipoint alignment. I also turned feathering on. However, when I...
Hi, I tried using multipoint alignment on this picture too in Registax4, but it didn't work. In the unprocessed avi frames, I couldn't pick out suitable...
Wyatt, The link you furnished for the ALPO homepage is correct. However, the links that I furnished for the current and back issues of TLO are straight shots...
Hi Bill, No insult intended for your fine publication and web site. In my copy of the TLO PDF that I download from your previous posting, under the "Invitation...
Hi, It took a lot of trying and testing and poking, but I finally squeezed all of Saturn's 6 major moons out of an avi capture. The capture was done last...
Nice with getting all the moons, your saturn's focus looks a little off? It looks a little washed out to me, not sure. I'd be happy with it though, just...
Hi, Good questions. I have been having trouble getting good sharp images of Saturn, except at the lowest magnifications. Very large stacks hasn't done it...
Hi, I am trying to determine why I cant get more color and detail in my shots of Saturn. Limits of the SC8? My altazimut setup and field rotation? My...
For focus try a Hartmann mask and check the rings (and only the rings, not on the disk). For the focuser use a small stick (20-30cm, I am using fiber glass ...
Have you tried using filters? They help tease out detail and provide color. http://www.coolscopes.com/newyearsphotos.html Here are some photos of Saturn I took...
The question about filters is a good one - especially are you using an IR filter? IR focuses at a different point than visible, so that might be your problem....
Hi I read several versions on the IR cut filter build-in filter of the nexImage. Any idea about the IR cut filter that has (or has not?) the nexImage?...
monti I found that going to 10 frames per sec and using a barlow to go from 30f to 40f will give you the most detail. using 10 frames per sec you get a better...
Patricio I have used a IR/UV filter every time since I bought my new neximage (my first one died). I have been very happy with the color of the images. they...
Charles: I do the same filter thing with my Neximage. I use the Baader IR/UV. Also, I found that sometimes the seeing is so bad that if I stack frames it's...
Patricio: I swapped the colour CCD in my Neximage for a B&W one and while I was working with the CCDs I didn't notice anything other than a clear windows on...
That is a great pic. can you give any info on the f ratio and scope. ... Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been...
My latest picture of Saturn below: http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/neximage/photos/view/da40? b=4&m=f&o=0 This was my first attempt using Raw mode. This...
So I've been playing with Microsoft's World Wide Telescope program (worldwidetelescope.org). I noticed that it has a telescope interface called ASCOM. Has...
Yes Bruce your picture is remarkably similar to mine! Its worth trying the raw mode - its easy to set back to the original settings and vice versa. Saturn is...
