Canon 300d vs. 350d

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I'm sure several of you know how these two cameras (Canon Digital Rebelt and newer XT) compare in terms of sensitivity and noise. I'd appreciate your insights.

Thanks! smile

Seeing wasn't too good and I still have a lot to learn... but it's okay.

Pleiades, Seven Sisters, M45, Merope Nebula...

Okay, you know the names... Transparency was aweful here last night... but I wanted to image and have never gotten a shot of this yet. I'm happy for a first attempt. Can't wait to shoot it under transparent skies grin

Orion 80ED (600mm), MI250, ST2000XM (KAI2000 chip), 135 minutes luminance 1x1, 30 min. each RGB binned 2x2.

Thanks for looking...

Any experiences with Enterprise Optics

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I am interested in people's experiences with Enterprise Optics (Ed Beck) mirrors. I believe they have a good reputation but would like to hear from owners/ users of these optics.

Thanks,

Joe

Help in Newt. design please...

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I'm about to build/ modify a Dob around a wonderful, new mirror from Cary at Woden Optics.

I hope you can help me. Where does your ToUcam Pro come to focus in a 5x powermate as compared to an eyepiece? Do I need move the image/ focal plane outward in order to be able to focus my webcam... or is it going to focus in about the same position as one of my eyepieces?

Thanks!

Byer's Drives vs. Other modern premium drives

Posted By Joe Bruessow
Okay... I know that Byer's Drives of the 1980's - early 1990's were the best out there. What I wonder is how the lastest/ last ones stack up against drive gears in modern premium mounts like those in Takahashi, Astro-Physics, and Losmandy mounts. I want to use the the 9" Byer's drive on a homebrew mount for CCD imaging.
Thanks for your input shocked)

Byer's Drives vs. other Modern Drive Gears

I also posted this in the Equipment Talk forum. I hope you can share some insights here as well.

Anybody tried the Minolta 5D for imaging?

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I have several older AF Minolta Maxxum lenses from the early 1990's and want to get a DSLR. I see Konica Minolta has the 7D and now the 5D... just curious if anybody has done any astro-imaging with either of them.

I'd really appreciate any experiences/ insights...

Thanks smile

My Horsey...

Posted By Joe Bruessow
The road to improving my images seems to be a long and steep one. Attached is a B33 with ST2000XM... about 120 min Lum (1x1), and 30 min each RGB (2x2). Taken through an 8" f/5.3 Newt... no coma corrector yet.
