Hi, Has anyone tried imaging Venus with the NI and barlows?... I've been trying and its like no other planet. Of course, one could say "what's the point",...
Didn't think that barlows would work well with NI. ... From: imontam To: neximage@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 11:46 AM Subject: [neximage]...
Hi Stargazer, Absolutely! Barlows and reducers. Celestron has a 0.5 reducer especially made for the NI. Doubles your Field of View. Great for the Moon. And...
Monti try a  UV Filter. heres some on my site but i shouldnt be posting here i guess Neil phillips http://meademan175.tripod.com/ ... From: Stargazer...
Hi Monti. I've been mostly just lurking on the forum lately. But congrats on getting your photo of Io's orbit published in Skynews! Super! Yeah, I've...
Yea i've also tried venus a while ago, with not much great results. It seems to be even harder to image then jupiter and mars. =) I've never tried a UV...
Hi Ken... Venus is indeed an extremely bright object. So much so that I couldn't image it in color mode at all. I got diffraction patterns of blue, yellow and...
Monti No its not blocking UV you want,  its the UV Cloud thats showing detail.So you want a UV filter that allows the ultra violet through, but not Infra red...
I just installed my new NexImage and took a couple of videos of the moon to test capture and Registax. I'm generally very pleased (beats the delay of my 35mm...

I don't know if it is normal, but mine does the same thing! Some things I've done to help: Make sure you close the preview window before making changes in...
Thanks Neil. It seems there are web sites that compare different Venus UV filters. So I will be looking into it. When to use blocking or pass filters, either...
Darryl, your "kill AMCAP, unplug USB connection restart AMCAP" solution is also what works for me. My NI freezes at least once every imaging session, and...
Hi, Well, I posted my first Venus image. It's in black and white, so there are no details to be seen in the cloud cover. It was taken on 5 dec08, in...
Thanks everyone! It's reassuring that its not just me :-) Anyone able to control the weather now?! As usual, buy new toy and nature plays a cloudover joke...
Great picture of Venus Monti! I've been too busy at work and been working away from home to do astronomy. But hopefully I will get a chance to get a picture of...

Hi John, Thanks for the comment. I had no idea on what to expect when I started imaging Venus. I'm in what you would call "experimental mode". Probably the...
Was wondering if anyone uses K3CCDTools for capture and processing using the Neximage image. If not, what software do people typically use for capture and ...
Yea I use k3ccdtools to capture, and then registax to process along with photoshop. The camera comes with this software called AMcap however I find its not...
Hi Ken, I have used AMCAP from the outset with the Neximage. I do have K3CCDtools but just never used it. I should try it. Is there any particular point for...
Also can you keep the shutter open longer with k3ccdtools? ... From: imontam To: neximage@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 4:26 PM Subject:...
