1st quarter Moon

30 frames shot through a 70mm refractor and a 1.8x barlow. Stacked in RS6 and finished up in PS7. It was a little hazy out and I captured it nicely around the limb.

Thanks

Cresent Moon

Hi All, Taken about an hour after sunset. A stack of 9 images taken with a Canon XTi using a 300mm @ f/5.6 at 400asa on a tripod...stacked in RS6 and tweeked in PS7. It didn't look that good so I didn't bother to get my mount out...oops.

Thanks for looking!

ST4 problem

Posted By Joe McBride
Hi All, My ST4 stopped working last night. I took the CCD head out of the eyepiece holder to find a new guide star and it went dead. The display was dark with nothing. Power source is good. Is there a relay for the power. I know nothing about electronics. Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks

Hi All, Same setup as for Venus except I used a 1.8x barlow and a baader film filter. The air has gotten thick and humid here and the seeing is pretty stable during the day. Stacked in RS and processed in PS7.


Thanks for Looking!

Hi All, I snagged this image just over 48 hrs after the eclipse we had last Sunday. I used a 70mm refractor at f/8 @100 asa. This is 33 frames stacked in Registax 6 and processed in PS7.

Thanks for Looking
