New Mars with CP5000

Posted By Mark Hanson

Actually this is from last week I just had time to process it. Its 36 of the best images from 200. I used a CP5000 with a William Optics 24mm eyepiece adapter and a 2x barlow. This was attached to a 12"LX200. I was very pleased with the results.

M27 with 10D

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is my first attempt with cooling a Canon 10D. The cooler brought the temp down to 9.5C from 28C so it did help. This was 18-3min images at ISO 1600 throught a 12" LX200 at 6.3 with guiding done with an STV.

Very little processing was done to this image, and its at 100%

Thanks,

Re-Processed M27

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is an image I re-processed from a few weeks back. This was taken with a Canon 10D and a 12"LX200 at F6.3.

I used a custom camera cooler that brought the ambient temp down from 25C to 9.5C so it seem to help the noise.

It is 19-3min images at ISO 1600 and dark frame subtracted. It was processed in Images Plus and Photoshop.

Thanks,

Mark

M31 Andromeda

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is a 2-part Mosaic of M31 I took at the beginning of this month. It was taken with a Canon 10D and an FSQ-106 at F5. The exposures were 30-5min at ISO 800 of each part. Then they were combined and processed in Images Plus and Photoshop.

It was bin 3x so the actual image is very large.

Your comments welcome.

Thanks,

Helix Nebula

Posted By Mark Hanson

Here is a picture of the Helix Nebula taken with a Canon 10D and FSQ-106 at F8. It was 30-5min exposures at an ISO of 1600. 6 averaged dark frames were also used. All were processed using Images Plus and Photoshop6.

Although low in the southern sky I was pleased with the results. It is actually at its highest point when I took these images.

Thanks,

Mark
