That is exactly what I did. When I purchased a new laptop for Astronomy (we use Macs at home and certain things just don't work the the Mac in Astronomy, but...

I have a NexImage webcam and reducer lens, a telescope (deliberately not named) and a laptop running Windows XP with the supplied NexImage software but I don't...
Hi Alan, You can certainly do planetary and lunar imaging with a Dob (non-tracking I assume). It’s a matter of setting it up and letting the object drift...
I am new to the group and new to imaging. I just purchased a NexImage to try my hand at Lunar and Planetary imaging. I assume the best images can be obtained...
Welcome Gary. A Tracking mount is definitely best but you CAN actually get a reasonable number of frames to stack by letting a planet drift from one end of the...
When I first started, i was using an 8" orion dob with no tracking anything. it took a lot of patience and practice but i would have to my make sure my ...
Hi All Only recently discovered your group, great resource! Is there anybody here that has tried to image a DSO? Such as a globular cluster? I have the theory...
Hi Gary, As Bruce mentioned, you can simply let the image drift across the screen while you record. How fast it drifts depends on your magnification. With...
Hi Alan, The ideal situation would be a telescope with tracking capability. You can manage without, but it would probably be quite limiting. I would think your...
... There is one thing that I know of to increase the sensitivity: you have to change the CCD sensor in it to its B&W counterpart. The B&W CCD can be purchased...
Wow, thank you Leonard for the great info. I'll probably consider the B&W conversion, since longer exposure will only give me star trails (dobsonian). Do you...
Hi, As Hein said, great information Leonard! Printed and filed away... I'll check the cost of the unfiltered CCD you mention (purchase and shipping). The NI is...
Hi, Having obtained an Astrodon UV filter, I have done a few test imaging sessions on Venus. The link below leads to an image obtained by combining a UV image...
Here is an image of Venus that I took on 1/21/09. Its not that impressive of a planet to image though. I used an IR filter and took about 900 frames. I am...
Hi Matthew, The Venus image is probably overexposed. Big problem with Venus. I just couldn't image it in color. In B&W, its really trial and error (exposure...
I will submit it, thanks for the advice. My scope is a C14 on a CGE mount. Matthew ... From: imontam To: neximage@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 10,...
Good evening ALL, I am in the process of setting up a small network from my observatory and the home computer. Would it be possible to transmit the pictures...
Hein: I don't really keep up to date on webcams since I have all I need for what I do (and after all, this is the Neximage group :-), but I remember there is...
Hi Monti: I don't know how it does B&W. Obviously there must be some kind of algorithm for extracting the luminance from the three colour channels. Sort of...
I would run an ethernet cable to the remote computer (or use WiFi cards) and use Microsoft's Remote Desktop utility, which is part of the Windows operating...
Roger, The NexImage camera will connect to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 running under XP Home Edition 2002 with Service...
Hi Roger, It is really great having a remote setup! I do both. I sometimes image beside the tlescope using a laptop, and sometimes from indoors using a wired...
In a recent post I erroneously stated that the amp off mod is also called the "SC3" mod. In fact, the amp off mod is called the "SC1.5 mod" which is actually...
