Hi neil glad you have in clear skies,pics are come in along mwhat time was orion up ? Not be long now before its a evening. Const not had any clear weather for days

Orion is at a reasonable height about 0200. Starts to fade out around 6am with sunrise. I took the shots at 0515. I'm not sure why I woke up that early on a Sunday, but I made the most of it.

Cheers

i neil i use a programe called "blackframe nr" that adds a black frame to your pictures

so do your normal pics 25 of what ever and then take just one dark frame same speed and iso ect

and then run each pic take a look its so easy to use in fact the web site as some great software take a look this black fram one is cool and i use it a lot

BlackFrame NR - Noise reduction using Black frame method

hi neil had a play with the image to avi software looks good only had about 10 of the same pic but to night with a bit of luck i shall get a few snaps must rember not to shoot in raw mode a think thats its only down fall

If you want to use RAW mode, I found some batch converting software at the link below to to convert to jpegs.

search for STEPOK raw importer on www.freewarefiles.com

i can convert no probs,i thought the imag grab would have "raw" as a pic option
