Mars image through 130mm spaceprobe

Posted By Jeff Green

This is a stack(registax)of 15 photos taken afocal with a 2.0 MP Sony Cybershot through 10mm/2x barlow. This is through a 130mm Orion Space probe on an EQ-2 mount.

I am curious if this is about as good as I can expect through this scope, or can I improve my shots in someway other than a new scope. Planning an upgrade but not probably for another year.

suggestions welcome...

More mars through my 130mm Newt

Posted By Jeff Green

This was Early Tuesday morning(like 1am). Images are still not a clear as I would like but maybe sharper detail is wishful thinking (afocal through a 130mm Orion Spaceprobe).

Is it possible to Auto-align .jpg shots with Regis

Posted By Jeff Green

Every time I attempt to auto-stack my photos (currently of mars) in registax it drifts of the planet and I am having to align manually. Is there a way to stop this or will i just have to continue to stack manually?

Mars Afocal 11-2

Posted By Jeff Green

Hey guys,

I am still working with my Sony cybershot 2MP digital through an Orion 130mm Spaceprobe. I am trying to get my hands on a laptop so I can use my webcam to see how much clearer I can get my images. But here is what I got last night.
