M13 from Michigan

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I took another pic of M13 last night... not so good of seeing but I'm pretty happy with the initial result. Meade 12" UHTC OTA, MI250 mount, ST2000XM, Luminance = 120 sec. x 15, 2x2 binned, R, G, B each = 120 sec. x 3, 3x3 binned.

Opinions? Too saturated?

M27 from Michigan last night

Posted By Joe Bruessow
This an M27 taken using my ST2000XM through my Meade 12" OTA atop my MI250. 24 x 5 min lums (2x2 binned), and 15 min 3x3 binned RGB channels.

I am still working on processing but am pleased with the initial results.

Lum = 2x2 bin, 2 hrs.(24 x 5 min.)

Anyone making a reasonably priced Eq. platform?

Posted By Joe Bruessow
I know of Tom O, and Johnsonians... but several other companies have disappeared now that I am interested in one (figures).

Anyone know of any other good companies where you have actually seen their platforms or kits?

Thanks,

Joe

Here is my version of M33... Orion 80ED, ST2000XM.

11 x 900s Luminance binned 1x1
1 x 600s R,G & B binned 2x2

The target was pretty low in the East... I will try to add more luminance and more importantly, color tonight.

Why ratings disappear?

Posted By Joe Bruessow
This may have been answered before and if so, I apologize, but I have noticed that over time the number of ratings I have received in the classified section drops. In other words, if I don't buy/sell things for a period of time my ratings/ feedback number drops. I think I had 84 positive feedback ratings some time ago and now I only have 81... Is this because the person who left the rating changed it? Left Astromart? Was booted off?

Answers are appreciated...
