Uranus 10-6-11

Posted By Joe McBride
Hi, I took Roland's advice and stacked 14 frames ranging from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. I think this image gives a very close representation of what I see at the eyepiece. It was stacked in Registax 6

Enjoy

First Image with...

Posted By Joe McBride
I just purchased the Orion's Solar System Imager and here is my results for the first try. Learning the software is the biggest thing. Not a lot of discription as far as what does what...but ok I suppose as far as getting my feet wet. Image takem through a C-11 @ f/10, 900 frames out of 5400. Processed in Registax and PS7.

Thanks for Looking!!!

Still figuring out how the Orion Star Shoot Solar System Imager software works. Just missed the GRS.

Barely an eclipse here!

Posted By Joe McBride
Taken about 6 minutes past P1...or 20 minutes before work :-( I would have liked to have gotten some partial shots deeper into the penumbra or umbra as it set.

Sunset on the Sea of Crises

I got out just before work and captured 105 images of Thursday mornings waning gibbous Moon. I used a 70mm refractor and a 1.8x barlow with a Canon XTi camera. Stacked and partially processed in Registax 6 and finished touches in PS7.

Hi All, seeing must have been ok because I could get pretty good focus. The limb was pretty choppy so I don't know if it was heat from my tube or what. 70mm refractor with 1.8x barlow and a Canon XTi...49 frames shot at full crop then stacked the best 90% in R6. I used a baader film filter.

Thanks

Venus

Posted By Joe McBride
Hi again, I thought I'd try to get a shot of Her while I had the scope out for the Sun. The best 89 frames with 70mm refractor and a 2.5x barlow. Processed in R6...frames were shot at 1/200 sec. Could have gone down to 1/500sec and not over exposed the disk. Manually cropped @ 75%?

Thanks

Hi, Canon 40mm at 200asa for 10 seconds. I was able to use light pollution to have a desired affect.

Hi Again, seeing was really good so I was able to get some good data later in the day. 92 out of 102 frames shot with a Canon XTi through a 70mm refractor and a 1.8x barlow. Stacked in R6 and final touches in PS7.


Thanks for looking.
