NGC2392 - The Eskimo Nebula

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Hi John,

Very nice NGC2392. My telescope's field of view are much too wide to capture this object so I played with your image a little. I hope you don't mind. I sharpened more and adjusted the histogram some -- really it doesn't improve the object much (which is a compliment to you and your processing). Good job.

M78 from Utah

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Hi Tyler,

Nice image of M78. It's histogram is a little too blue-green from a light pollution gradient.

Rush Valley -- well I'll be. I used to hunt jack rabbits there with my Grandpa! The way Utah Valley is growing there will be a Wal-Mart in Rush Valley soon!!

Here's my M78: http://www.tvdavisastropics.com/astroimages-1_000022.htm

Keep up the good imaging,

Question?? Multiple SBIG Cameras

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Hi Tyler,

I use both an STL-11000M and an ST-10XME at the same time through Maxim. I've been using the STL as the imager and the 10XME as the guider, although I have switched thier rolls a couple of times. Both of these cameras are USB, but I'm assuming your ST-2000 is a USB while the 237 is serial. If this is the case then there will be no problem. If your 2000 is serial and your laptop has only one serial port then you'll need to get a serial PCMIA card or USB serial adapter.

What camera control software are you using?

Is this the current best astrophotographer?

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Daniel is not only a great imager, but a very nice person. He deserves all the accolades he receives.

I met him in San Jose, CA this past November. He is a true gentleman.

[Gee Greg, I'm hurt that you don't think that I'm the best (just kidding!!)].
