Well, I found a good deal on a neximager at a star party and decided to try it out. I uploaded 3 pics in photo album "Johns C11 pics". I'm imaging with a C11...
Just got in from taking this shot of Jupiter. This is at f20 with the 9.25 scope and about 1400 stacked images. Post-processing via irfan view. Bob ...
I can't help you much with your IR filter questions. But I wanted to tell you I really like the first Jupiter shot. It has a very natural look. The colors look...
Thanks for the kind words. This is a 50 second run at 30 frame per second. Some of the frames were dropped. Bob ... <robertfields@y...> ... <robertfields@y...>...
Finally go a chance to do more experimenting. I decided to play with the sct collimation again. From what I had read on the web, I had tightened 1 screw too...
Excellent photos. I also went the same route as you regarding attempts to fine tune the collimation. I have been plagued with poor seeing until two nights ago....
I agree that seeing is everything when it comes to planetary imaging. Last night I looked at Saturn and at high power Cassini division was not that prevalent....
Great questions. From my limited experience, I have gathered that no more than 2 minutes is the way to go on Jupiter. Jupiter moves fast and I found that...

Hi all, Has some decent seeing the other night so I tried Jupiter again. I used a C11 with a 2x barlow. Stacked about 1000 frames out of 1200. Captured at...
I hooked up my new NexImage last night and was in the process of focusing when I got a "power surge" failure notice, which meant the computer lost contact with...
Ive Had my Neximager for months and the only problem Ive ever had is they left a little piece of solder loose in the unit, did you hear a rattling when you ...
It turns out that my problem was not with the NexImage but rather with the usb port I was using. I changed ports and away it went. So far, I have not detected...
My NexImage was waiting for me Friday when I got home from work but the sky was not cooperating. As a Mac user I knew the included software wouldn't work for...
Hi, I´m new on the group and "formal" astronomy, posted my two best images so far... under the freddy diaz folder you will see saturn and jupiter folders. I...
I'm having a problem with what appears to be dust somewhere in my optical path and I don't know where--I posted an example in Photos/Andy_Scheck. This is...
