Hi all,
Having a ball with my recently purchased Neximage. Attached is a greyscale image of Saturn taken with my 5 inch F9.3 achromat working at F22 using a 2.4x barlow. The image is the result of 1200 frames processed in Registax. Seeing was only average, so I guess it came out pretty decent considering the aperture and seeing.
Steady Skies,
Karl

Hi all,
Took this image with my bargain basement 5 inch f9.3 Apogee Achromat using a Celeston NexImager stacked with a Baader Contrast Booster. Image was aquired using 2.4x barlow projection, and is the result of a 90 second AVI consisting of 1800 frames that were then processed in RegiStax V3 8)

Greetings,
Heres an image of 7.9 arc Mars I aquired at 1000 hrs UT June 1. Taken with Neximager and my old B&L 8 inch SCT at F25. Seeing was mediocre but the Registax seems to have sorted things out better than I expected.
Steady Skies,
Karl

HI all, 8)
Here's an image of Mars captured early Sunday morn with my trusty old B&L 8001 SCT and Neximager @F31 Solis Lacus is prominent near the terminator. South polar cap is just a tiny remnant. Central Meridian is 121 deg

Hi everyone,
Here's an image of Mars (CM48deg) I took last Sunday morn using a 5 inch f9.3 achromatic refractor with 3x barlow projection. Image is result of 800 best frame stack of 2300 frame Neximage .avi Filtration consisted of the integrated IR block built into the imager coupled with a Baader Contrast Booster MV filter to help with the unavoidable secondary spectrum. I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did because focusing on the laptop was a real chore. Every touch of the focus knob sent the image on the screen dancing. I now have put in an order for a motofocus from JMI to make focusing a little more predictable
Steady skies,
Karl
