  1. Give me a second would you! You managed to moan within seconds of me posting and trying to attach the correct files😆
  2. A rare clear sky on Friday, attempted another mosaic with the 10 inch, lots of issues capturing the 19 frames, also took a few quick close ups but the seeing had gone down hill from earlier. 10" Newtonian, 3X TV barlow, ASI 174mm IR pass 650 filter. Close ups 5x TV powermate.
  3. Desperate to see the sky took a few fres around the South Pole of the moon last night Seeing was very por but just happy getting out as its been over 1 month since I saw the sky.
  4. I found this so looks to be a known object.
  5. Wonder if anyone can help assist Identify the small fuzzy blob near 16 monoceros in this image. Should also mention this is quite a deep image of around 14 hrs, quick rough process. Thanks
  6. Very sad news, such a talented telescope maker. A great loss to the astronomy community. My condolences to his family at this time. Mark
  7. It's a favourite read of mine, first time I read it I immediately went back to the start and read ir again, I've not felt like this with any other book. As a young astronomer I owned another of his books Guideposts to the stars, that book grew my curiosity in astronomy and 40 odd years later I still love looking up. Mark.
  8. After watching the latest video I wondered how short changed those who paid for Astrobiscuit and buddies felt at the end. Drinking in the hot tub is hardly astronomy, didn't understand the urgency to image same night as the larger telescope either? And why not test the scope before taking it abroad? All a bit fake.
  9. Thanks Kostas Let me have another try with the points you mention above. Mark
  10. Yes its a great place to visit, my 4th time there. This little hut used to be the local school house!
  11. Beautiful clear sky last Tuesday night in the highlands, was staying in Clashgour hut for a few nights and fired off a few frames, really cold night -10, but the skies were superb.
  12. During November I managed 10 nights imaging Jupiter, most of which Ive deleted as the seeing has been so poor, A few nights ago the seeing seemed better than usual and I captured a number of SER files for processing. As processed single files they are not that spectacular however I ve tried without any success combining and de-rotating the images in Winjupos. No mater what I do I get a smeared image, Ive watched many tutorials and unless im missing something really obvious I cant get it to work. All the images are UT stamped, my lat and long are entered, hitting F11 does not always place the planet stencil over Jupiter correctly so I have manually adjusted this. Im selecting an image around the middle of the vids as a reference time. The image is not being de-rotated as far as I can see only stacked. Any thoughts? Mark
  13. Started this image back in Oct after the Kielder star party while staying in Hexham. Taken through the Spacecat 51 telescope, ZWO 2600mc pro, L-Ultimate filter sat on SW adventurer GTI mount. 62 x 10mins Mark
  14. This book and Leslie Peltier's book Guidepost to the stars started my fascination with astronomy, I also recommend Peltiers book Starlight Nights, a great read Mark
