Hi Dodi, Nice images, that's for sure but I don't think you captured more details than your previous post (in prime focus) a few days ago due the bad seeing ...
Indeed, that's why I didn't bother trying to make the mosaic with this focal length. Seeing was not permitting more... D. ... seeing ... 3D-touch !! ... Namens...
Hi Dodi Yes, just installed the new motor and control system from Starlight Instruments for the TMB 175mm focuser, (3.5"). Looks very robust but documentation...
Does anyone else have the same problem when accessing this site? I go to the site to post and they make me join the group. I have to do this evertime I go to...
Hello all, I own a TMB 105/650 and want to do astroimaging, currently with DSLR and later with larger CCD chip up to 36x24mm chipsize. So a flat field an pin...
Hi all For the last 3 years, I have been using an Optec TCF-S focuser which is one of the most reliable pieces of mechanical focusers on the market. With my...
... Hi Bob (and all), Thanks for the updated progress on the imaging setup. This is an interesting read as I am about to go through the same process with a...
I managed to 'squeeze off' three images of the Rossette last night. These are 30 minutes each for a total time of 90 minutes. A reduced image is here: ...
Tim, Nice image! The multi band filter has me wondering if combined with a SII filtered image in Maxim; using SII for the red and the multi band filer as Teal,...
hi guys, I was thinking about posting this image or not,...but since it was the very first one, using AstroArt 4 for guiding image acquisition and color...
hi Tim, whow! most impressive! I think a reducer might be helpful to get more of the nebula onto the chip? anyway - it`S a terrific image, displaying what the...
... Hey! ... This is a very spectacular image. You have worked the colours well and kept the bright stars under control. No reflections either which is...
... Thankes, ... This would be interesting. I have the 5 filter wheel for my STL-11k so one of L R G B would have to go. I'd really not want to do that but...
hi Tim `n Terry, thanks for the compliments! the spokes come from the small platlets between the lenses - the spacers,... yes Tim. You`re absolutely right -...
The Cygnus Wall feature is a popular object in the North American Nebula, and bounds the dark nebula of the "Gulf of Mexico". Here I have attempted to...
... Hello Dietmar, ... Thanks for the very kind and encouraging words. ... I will post later a small crop of the 100% (actual) sized version. It's like being...
Thank you very much, glad you liked it. Right now I'm trying to avoid thinking of mosaics with the TMB. They have a way of turning into an entire season's...
Tim, I think I would hang on to the 3nm filter. I am just guessing this would come near to the Hubble palette. A couple of guys have used Ha and OIII in a two...
... Hi Terry, ... I tend to agree. I'll hang on to it. I meant to try today this 3mm as a solar filter in a very special way. I have a Herschel wedge that ...
... An excellent image Peter. ... I hope not. With automated setup I hope to get the Rosette in one week, assuming good conditions and no technical problems....
Hi Giorgio, see here for images http://www.apm-telescopes.de/images/artikel/45200_25.jpg I'm very happy as well and I will always remember your excellent...
Hi Tim and Terry Sorry to continue this thread but Markus and I spoke today on the subject of needing to add additional distance to off-set the impact of glass...
Bob, Yes; I was confused a little. In effect you have to make the adapter 2mm longer, so yes; subtracting it from the ccd/filter wheel distance is what to do....
Hi Terry I received the measurements from FLI's designer and he did mention to make sure I added the distance for the two glass surfaces but I will email him...
