Looking for unprocessed AVI files

I have downloaded REGISTAX and I'm looking for some AVI files with multiple frames (moon, Mars, Saturn etc.) to practice with. Can anyone point me to a website.

Has anyone had a chance to evaluate the new Orion Green Laser Pointer? I would be very interested in your experience.

Meade Smart Mount

I have a 12

June 10, 2005 06:28 PM Forum: CCD Imaging and Processing/Solar System

I need some help with RegStax V3. I have the following setup 12” Lx200 GPS, Toucam 740 and a TV 3x Barlow. I use Qfocus for image capture. When I image Jupiter the image on my computer screen is too big to use RegStax’s 256 alignment box. I am trying to align on the entire planet image. However, when I try the 512 alignment box I get the “ Alignment feature too close to image border” message. I get this message even after I changed the processing area to 1024. I do not have this problem with a 2X Barlow since the image fits within a 256 alignment box. Seeing has not allowed me to try to align on a surface feature. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Meade Sky Assurance Deal

Posted By Harold Masterson

Very happy that you had such a good experience. My scope has great tracking but pointing is off. I plan on updating the software, retraining and see if things improve. Quick question, has Meade changed its policy on the Sky Assurance plan? I thought that is was only available if the scope was under its original warranty. Sounds like your scope was out of warranty when you purchased the plan.

An interesting article. Does this procedure sound familiar to anyone? Looks like they have discovered Registax
