Robert,

Thank you, I'm anxious to see some lunar images from you.

Hi Kirk,

Great! image and I really like the processing too, are you using your SCT in Alt/az mode if so do you ever have alignment problems due to image rotation when doing hires lunar imaging over about 90 seconds, this image looks like it aligned fairly well though.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Eric,

Very! good Mars image, having 9000 frames for Registax to select from had to have helped a lot, I have found that to be helpful when the seeing is average or better.

Thanks,

Mars and my last Jupiter of this season

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Paul,

Very nice images, it looks like you have solved the pattern problem you had with Jupiter and the Lumenera, one big problem with imaging Jupiter now is that the scope primary does not have time to equalize with the air temperature before Jupiter gets to low to image, I had forgot about Saturn smile

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

For only 9.45" a very detailed image, have you tried setting the WB using a white piece of paper with a slight amount of light on it.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

Thanks!, I was just fortunate to have pretty good seeing that morning, I hope everything works out well with new PC.

Paul,

If the color was a little better your Lumenera image would be outstanding, I'm not sure why you can't get better color I wish you were about 500 miles closer we could get together and see if we could figure it out but I am sure you will get it worked out.

Mars!

Hi Jim,

Excellent! Image, it looks to me as though the early Mars images showing up are better than the Mars images in 2003 when Mars was the same apparent diameter.

Thanks,
