A rediculously simple question... *grin*

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

A simple question, in general lets say I'm imaging a globular cluster, is it better to shoot a bunch of .5 sec exposures or fewer of say, 10 sec? Does this also follow with nebula? I'm using an Atik 1HS cams.

Thanks!!
Paul

Hi all,

My run of decent seeing continued to January 12. I'm wondering if I need to resample the images larger during processing or if usable data can be seen on what i am posting.

Hi all,

Average seeing but I'm quite happy to still get so much detail on a 10.6" Mars.

Hi all,

It seem like I have gotten my best seeing on the past few Fridays. That last Friday Jan 13 was no exception. The UT is Jan 14, but local time was Jan 13....um...you know what I mean. smile

A 10" Mars

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Here is Mars just before it dipped below 10" of arc. A decent, but not fabulous image.

Hi all,

More or less decent, so the saga continues. I am hoping to get images until March 17.....

Hi all,

Two images of the boring side of a benign Mars. Not much going on right now, but I'm kinda getting caught up...only about 15 more Mars sets to go.

Hi all,

Still processing and getting further behind...ah well, when we break out 120 day rain drought I'll have something to keep me busy... LOL!! This one is a bit better than the previous couple, but nothing fantastic except for being 9.5" of arc.

Hi all,

Jupiter is finally getting higher....well, never going to be TOO high, but at least it's not in our soup out here.
