i now have one for my celestron c4r refractor how do you get the eye peace imager to the telescope. If it has to be in the yard maybe 20 to 30 feet from the...
Thats why this hobby is so addicting. People do very interesting things to setup for taking pictures. I have a computer straped to a wheelbarrel! I just wheel...
Howdy, I just wanted to share a couple of notes regarding the NexImage long exposure modification. I made the mods as described on Freddy Diaz's site: ...
I bought a cart at a tractor store and strapped my pc down, actually it was my birthday present. and mark it sounds like you need a lot of bb's. ... ...
I shoot about 50 ft away from my computer and use a pair of USB ethernet adapters and a 75 ft ethernet cable (I've also got a 150 ft) and it works just fine. ...
Hi Group. I tried out the NI last night with TOA-130, but on the laptop, all I saw in real time was a white circle. Do you use filters to or what? Should the...
No. This comes from having the gain, brightness, or saturation too high on your settings. Drop them down to < 50% and see if that improves the screen image. If...
I posted my first Mars image, from my first real imaging session with the Neximage. It's in the Ed H folder in the files section. It shows the image beside a...
Hi group, I tried Mars again this weekend (clouds came in by the time Saturn was up). Seeing was not real good (hazy) but I captured this image. Not as sharp...
I've been lurking and reading and practicing with my new neximage. I will post pictures, but first a few questions: About Raw Color Mode and amcap: I tried the...
Hi Russell, I just tried AMcap in raw mode and it shows up in black and white for me. Is it possible you used the optimized color mode instead of raw mode?...
I got a chance to play with my LE-modded NexImage this evening. I used my NS8GPS in Fastar mode (F/2). You can find them in the Photos section under Andre...
Andre, You are right. I got home and tried it again (viewing a street lamp out my window). Using either AmCap or Iris the capture is in B&W for raw color mode....
Andre, Very respectable images you have posted! I am just going to play with the RAW mode tonight and will be looking into the LE mod soon. Also, I posted a...
Hi Everybody. New member. A colleague imaged Mars last night with the NexImager, ran his file thru Registax, and at some point got a "compression error" ...
LOL -- I love the message subject. If you got a "Failed to decompress AVI frame" message, it probably means that the AVI file was too long for Registax. You...
This was taken with a fork-mounted C8 with RA drive at ~f20 using an Ultima 2x barlow. I have a Meade 644 flip mirror to help centre the target. Ed ... ...
Thanks a bunch, Andre. Sounds like that's the problem. I imaged, for the first time last night, and ran it for about 70 sec., getting something over 1000...
No problem Steve. I think the single-file Registax limit is about 2G and that works out to just over 2300 frames, so 1000 frames is fine. I usually try to...
Thanks to all esp. Tommy Hartline for the tips. I got a look last night and finally saw color and features. Now all I need to do is develop a way to get focus...
Try first in auto mode. You'll get the image, but it will be too bright. But you can center it and roughly focus, then go back to manual mode for precise focus...
Hi, I have similar problem with all avis (captured with amcap) when opening them with Registax. I open avi-files in Quicktime, cut some frames from the end and...
Could yu give some settings when you captured the mars photo. Richard ... From: Ed Hitchcock To: neximage@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 8:16...
Hi All, I've been using the Neximage for a few months now, but only just learned of this forum. I've been using a Tak Mewlon (dall-kirkham cassegrain)with a 3x...
More fun with long exposures tonight in my photos area: Nov4 M42: 300x5s, raw mode Nov4 M33: 50x60s, raw mode As with the last images, these were at F/2 on...
