Hi All, Captured Mars this morning in average seeing. Used a 20 year old 8 inch Bausch and Lomb Schmidt Cassegrain with 3x barlow projection @F31. Image result...
Hi all, I've posted my first three (OK four) images using my new NexImage webcam that I've used on my PST and C8. I've created a folder in the Files section...
I've had my Neximage webcam for a short while, and made three photos, so I'm no expert but: 1) if you're trying something like Mars you may not have it in the ...
Hey Gary- nice work! It looks like you have things under control and send us some more great shots to check out. Elton 34N -- 117.5W (Los Angeles, CA...
Took my first try at Mars tonight. Good seeing. I can't get RGB settings to work correctly on my laptop (it whites out), so I used IYUV. In the final process...
I finally got around to testing the Neximage that has been long exposure modified. It is an image of M57 the Ring Nebula. My mount has some tracking issues,...
I've pasted an image I made this morning (8:30 UT) of Mars in the Files section under Gary's Folder called Solis Lacus.jpg. The eye of Mars was just about to...
The last couple of weeks we've been having lots of clear nights in Maryland so I'm getting a lot less sleep than I'm used to. I've posted some of my recent...
What is the recommended white balance setting when imaging Mars? My recent attempts show very little color even when I crank up the saturation in post...
Hi all, A productive morning I think. I first imaged Mars again around 4:30 AM (8:30 UT) because Solis Lacus was to be centrally located. Seeing was our...
Hi, I'm a new member and am considering the Neximage for planetary/moon imaging. I'm also looking at the Meade version. I'm interested in the learning curve...
I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain that the Meade imager uses a CMOS chip rather than a CCD like the NexImage. The CCD chip is usually considered...
If it's DSO's you want, neither the Neximage or LPI will be suitable. These are short-exposure cameras, designed for stacking multiple images of bright objects...
Hi all, Image upload of Mars taken through my 5 inch refractor. Seeing ALPO 6- 7 Transparency poor to fair. Under kfabian in photos section. Clear Skies, Karl...
Hi Karl, Take a look at Lacus_new.jpg in the Files section, under Gary's folder. I believe I captured Solis Lacus at the two times you also imaged! Gary ... 6-...
Thanks for all the advice. I decided to give it a go and picked a "new" one up on AstroMart. I use the MallinCam Pro Dob astro video camera for DSO's so this...
The webpage is http://fdiazhome.tzo.com/Astronomy/Neximage-Mod/ . I tried the mod last week but was unsuccessful. The Neximage may be the easiest webcam to...
Bill and Lou, Wire wrap is defineately much easier to handle than any other type of wire for these types of mods. Radio Shack carries wire wrap (blue...
Hi I am thinking of getting the Neximage to use with my 12"Dob, I have a few questions... 1 I have an older laptop with a 233mhz pentium will this be enough? 2...
Pat, I use my neximage with an HP 233 Mhz, the only thing I may suggest is enough memory (at leat 128 MB) For planets you need a well aligned scope and good...
Hello Pat, I couldn't load the Neximage cam drivers on my laptop, which is running Windows 2000 pro. You may need to run XP in order for it load. Also,...
Found the time to shoot and put together another lunar mosaic. Check it out under "DeadFish". Still too dark around the terminator...any thoughts on how to get...
Hi all, I took what I think was my best image of Mars yet (and my 4th ever of it) this morning, and I compiled a montage of my images in the Files section,...
Hi all, Just uploaded an image of Mars I took early Sunday. Notice the "canal" like linaments extending down across Arabia (left side of disk). Sure looks like...
Nice work Gary! And your images of the Sun are fantastic. I might get in trouble like with the Enckes controversy. Now I'm seeing "canals" in my images of...
Hey Karl, is there any way you can post your images here in this group, I have problems for some reason going to that page , id like to keep up on your images ...
