Hello all, Has anyone using a home ntework setup, been able to transfer NexImage images from one computer to another; via a CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cable ? Roger...
Monti, Thank you for the tips. I'm just getting started with the NI and haven't been overly successful. I plan on trying some of your tips as soon as the...
... Sure, all the time. I capture clips with my laptop, then transfer it to my pc using the lan over cat5 or wifi. I just share the working folder on my laptop...

Hi, Last january 10th, I got up at 2 AM for a Saturn imaging session. The telescope, SC8, had been outside since early evening to get down to ambian...
Hi Hein, I live in Canada, just east of Montreal. I've done imaging in temperatures as low as -25, -30C... So -22C doesn't present any great problem, as long...
Monti That's insane! It takes a special dedication to do astronomy in that kind of conditions! Bet you can't wait for summer? Days are hot here, temperatures...
Monti: Sorry for butting in, but I'm just wondering where you locate your corrector plate dew strap. I used to put mine on the OTA just behind the corrector...
Hi Leonard, I just put my heated strap around the outside of the metallic tube, as far toward the opening as possible, bumping against the slighly raised ring...
Here's one from Sunday night. The seeing was not too bad but in the AVI the rings are flapping like a bird's wings. Celestron Neximage, 12"LX200 2X Barlow, 500...
Hello everybody I've just joined this group a few minutes ago. Since I'm an amateur astronomer for a while I'm beginner with neximage and astrophoto also. I...
Hi Lucian, Welcome to the group! Nice shots. It gives me the taste to try it. Clear skies! Daniel Fafard Saint-Charles Borromée, Québec, Canada Lat: 46º 2'...
Hi David, I was really impressed when I saw your image of Saturn!... But I was too busy to respond more quickly. The planet's pretty sharp and I find the...
Hi Lucian, Nice images indeed!... I guess your 6" telescope is a Newton, so it's interesting to see how it is brighter than my SC8. You can make out the rings...
Hi Monti No.. My 6" is a SCT , it is a Celestron NexStar 6 SE. I also used a 3X barlow . It is hard for me to say what is the cause (I'm quite a begginer in ...
Astronomy activity in the Brooksville area has picked up. On the night of full moon we had a star party for the residents of the campground. We started out...
Well I guess you could use it for ANY large bright object to make it appear smaller to avoid making a mosaic. The Sun and the Moon are the most likely...
... I was thinking of using it on a dobsonian for taking pictures of bright DSO's such as M42. The reduced focal length would reduce the star trail speed but...
The reducer is made to screw right into the NexImage. So trying to use it with an eyepiece would take some adapting and I'm not sure it would work out. As far...
Hi, Actually, I use the reducer practically everytime I image a planet. The reason is the following: my alignment procedure is done with an eyepiece, usually a...
Hello, The final version of RegiStax 5 was released on the 1st day of spring. You can download this latest version from http://registax.astronomy.net kind...
Hi, I have been imaging Venus for a couple of months, and have continued now that it is in its thin crescent phase. So close to the Sun, the procedure is very...
Awesome Monti, Glad you are finally getting good focus now. =) Venus is pretty hard in its own way, however not as hard as mars I don't think. Mars is a...
Hi I've attached some new Saturn shots.. which seems only a little bit better than the last ones. I also have a question. On all Saturn pics I've done with...
Hi Lucian, I forgot to mention that I think your images are inverted, vertically, the top should be at the bottom. Looking at Saturn now, we see the rings a...
Hi Lucian, Your images are very good! They are sharper than the ones I got last week with my SC8. Are you imaging somewhere with a dark sky? My pictures last...
