Jupiter 1/14 GRS

Posted By Vincent Bert
Nice image Chris, despite the seeing conditions. I imagine that Jupiter should still be at a pretty high elevation in the Philippines this year. Vince

Outstanding image Wes. Did you just "forget" about this AVI on your hard drive? 8O . Did you use MAP for processing? I continue to be astounded by the detail of your images. Great work. Hope the seeing cooperates for you soon. Seeing has been horrible here on the coast of socal since August, bad as I ever remember. Well, at least it has been clear. 8) Vince

Changing Nebulae

Posted By Vincent Bert
Thats a great image dan! You must have had some good seeing for that one. The nebula must have undergone a change recently as just 18 months ago I saw it in my 20" much like Jeff's image. Now, its only a sketch but I tried to be as accurate as possible. Very cool to see stuff change......

Changing Nebulae-An Animation

Posted By Vincent Bert
thats way cool dan. I think despite the different scopes, cameras, exposures, processing etc, you can definately see shadows being cast across the nebulosity.....

I'm new and would like some opinions....

Posted By Vincent Bert
opinions? well you came to the right place. If you really want to try imaging go with the shortest FL you can get and the biggest chip you can get for the money. It will make life much easier and less frustrating. Others that have started out imaging with an LX200 on fork mount can help you out with the myiad of issues.

On another note, folks, if you are just starting out in imaging, IMHO you will find it much easier to get started with something like at GM8 and an 80mm or 100m F6 scope. Just my opinion though, and it doesnt count for much, but I think you will find many folks agree.

Atlas, Hercules, and Surroundings

Posted By Vincent Bert
very nice image of Atlas and Hercules! I continue to be impressed by the Lumenera images in mediocre seeing. Have you tried using an IR pass filter with the Lumenera?

NGC 2903

Posted By Vincent Bert
Great detail dan, especially for the wind blowing! It does seem to look a little clipped in the black point. Was this intentional due to imaging in light pollution?
