I imaged Saturn again early this morning, and believe that there is evidence of the Encke Division/Keeler Gap. I don't think it is a processing artifact....
Last night was very nice! I hit up 2 brand new targets for me, M51 and M41. Heres what I got: M41: This is a stack of 38 frames (no darks, ops!), each one shot...

Hi Vincent, Very nice images of M51 and M41. Looks like the dark current with the Cannon is not a significant problem at 15 or 30 seconds. Flats will not add...
Hi Mark, Up late again I see :). Excellent image of Saturn. I have trouble processing to show the Encke Division but I think you may have it. Did you notice...
Robert, Dave and Vincent, thanks for your comments. Robert, I think that white spot on mine and on your very nice b&w shot is a storm of some sort. I read...
Wow! Another great image Mark! Allen * I imaged Saturn again early this morning, and believe that there is evidence of the Encke Division/Keeler Gap....
Hi Folks, I just posted an image I took last night at approx. 9:30 pm. It was imaged using a Toucam 840 and shot through a C-8, using a 3x Barlow. The seeing...
Allen, that's a nice one. A lot of good detail on the rings and body. It is just amazing that amateur astronomers can take images like these. At the risk of...
Robert, I have gotten as far as 90s with the LXD55/SN10 before mounting on the pier, so I am sure I could go longer then that now... from a tracking point of...
Vincent, Flat fielding improves an image by correcting for: 1. individual pixel sensitivity (not much of a concern with pretty image astrophotography and with...
I have added an image of Mars from 1/30/06 00:45UT to a series showing its size drop to less than 9 arc seconds. My processing hasn't been as consistent as...
8.9 arc seconds and still all that detail! Unbelievable! I'm beginning to think Superman wears "Mark Manner" pajamas! DQ In a message dated 2/2/2006 10:32:24...
Well, the way it was explained to me is .. ... When you take an image through the ideal optical system at an equally illuminated light source you would get...
Allen, Mark, Robert, Vincent - Great pics of Saturn, Mars, and M41-51! Sunday night I continued my 2006 quest to image all 109 Messier objects with the...
Hi Everyone, I posted my first Neximage photo (Saturn) in my folder called "Jim's Album". As best as I can determine (I think I'll start taking notes to help...
Jim, that is a great first image. Mark ... called "Jim's Album". ... remember future settings), these are the stats. ... I'm not sure what I'm doing so...
Thanks Mark It never ceases to amaze me as well. Seeing your images and some of the images posted on the Astromart and Cloudy Nights forums leaves one shaking ...
Jim, Welcome to Planetary Imager's Anonymous. You'll soon be addicted if you're not already. After all, you can't let Allen have all the fun up there at CAS...
Just a reminder about the SuitSat "launch" that will occur about 6pm CST tonight. I believe you can watch it on NASA TV via the internet. The data I have...
Sorry about the wrong time on the NASA TV Suitsat I launch time. Maybe there will be a rerun. I messed up my times and was thinking 6 hours of difference and...
Since it is somewhat rare to have a feature on Saturn that enables us to perceive its rotation from down here, I thought it would be interesting to compare two...
Awesome Mark! WOW, that sucker is moving fast! With any features in the atmosphere moving so fast what would you estimate the maximum single exposure time...
