Looks like you could step out onto it!
How wide do you suppose that mountain is in the middle of the crater?

Saturn from Utah - 01-20-05Posted By Greg Bradley |
Great shot.
Is that upside down? I was looking at Saturn last night and it was the other way up for me! I am in Sydney Australia.

Saturn Image 1/26/2005Posted By Greg Bradley |
Great shot Jim.
When you say F22, how did yo get that? Is that the 9mm of the ToUcam and a 2X barlow?
What settings did you use on your ToUcam? Gain 40%, Saturation? Gamma?
How did you porcess it K3CCD or Registax? Which do you find is better?
Best,
Greg.

First Saturn Image - advice wantedPosted By Greg Bradley |
Great advice, thanks. How do you set RAW mode? I can't see that in any dialog box in VR Record.
Also do you set it to 640 x 480 output size in the video format dialog box? Also the colour space/compression choices are either 1420 or IYUV whatever that means. Which is best?
Thanks very much for your help.

Sky 90 first light: Christmas Tree ClusterPosted By Greg Bradley |
Lovely shot, I like the colours of the stars, really bright and colourful.
Well done. Hope your hand didn't get too cold!

Orion and Running ManPosted By Greg Bradley |
That is one of the best M42 shots I have seen, what did you use?
I like the reddish pink of M42 contrasted with the blue of the running man neb.

ST4 stay...or should it go????Posted By Greg Bradley |
Hi Tom,
The main issue with the ToUcam for autoguiding is whether you can pick up bright enough stars to autoguide on.
I think ideally the ToUcam needs the Steve Chambers long exposure mod to be useful as an autoguider as I could only get guide stars near Orion and nowhere else practically. Mind you I since realised I may have had the frames per second set too high. I have heard others say they got guide stars no trouble but that is not my expereince. I suppose also that would be a function of which OTA you used as the guide scope. An 8 inch SCT may be good for guiding and piggy back an 80mm refractor.
Another choice is the Atik 1HS or 1C as they already have the mod and they double as an excellent planetary cam.
