    From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    This was taken on 18/19th February 2012 57 x 3 Min Lights Darks & Flats Camera: Canon 1000D - Self Modded Filters: SW LP Scope: SW 80ED DS + .85 flat/reducer Mount: NEQ6 Guiding: 9x50 Finder guider + CoStar + PHD Processing: Nebulosity, CS3 These targets really need a longer focal length I guess. Still need to reduce noise... Hmm, good excuse to get a CCD tho..
  2. From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    This was taken between 22:17 30/03/12 & 01:28 31/03/12 Comprises of 42 x 2 Min Lights Darks & Flats Camera: Canon 1000D - Self Modded Filters: SW LP Scope: SW 80ED DS + .85 flat/reducer Mount: NEQ6 Guiding: 9x50 Finder guider + CoStar + PHD Processing: DSS, Nebulosity, CS3 My first attempt at imaging a comet and my first attempt at processing a comet. As always needed more data... I'll have another go some time...
  3. From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    This was taken on 13th January 2012 18 Lights comprising of 18 x 3 Min Darks & Flats Camera: Canon 1000D - Self Modded Filters: SW LP Scope: SW 80ED DS + .85 flat/reducer Mount: NEQ6 Guiding: 9x50 Finder guider + CoStar + PHD Processing: Nebulosity, CS3 I didn't get enough subs and got the camera orientation out. Still need to get some more time in to reduce noise... Anyway, this is it so far..
  4. From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    This was taken during January and February 2012 114 Lights comprising of 102 3 Min + 12 Ha 5 Min Darks & Flats Camera: Canon 1000D - Self Modded Filters: SW LP + Baader 7nm Ha Scope: SW 80ED DS + .85 flat/reducer Mount: NEQ6 Guiding: 9x50 Finder guider + CoStar + PHD Processing: Nebulosity, CS3 I took a lot more subs but the conditions were frustrating to say the least so I've thrown a lot away as there was too much moisture showing. I'm not happy with my attempts to process the remaining subs. Tried many times but I think I'll just leave it at this for now... until next season then...

    From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    From the album: The one's I nearly threw away

    This was taken over the new year break 29/30 Dec 2011, 01/02/05 Jan 2012 60 Lights comprising of 39 5 Min + 21 Ha 5 Min Darks & Flats Camera: Canon 1000D - Self Modded Filters: SW LP + Baader 7nm Ha Scope: SW 80ED DS + .85 flat/reducer Mount: NEQ6 Guiding: 9x50 Finder guider + CoStar + PHD Processing: Nebulosity, CS3 I nearly threw the lot away as conditions, wind, guiding & my attempt at processing were not good. However 8 months on I've had a change of heart as I never got a chance to revisit. However.. There's always next season...
  7. I wonder how many of you have seen Julys edition of AN and gasped at the picture of the BBQ built against the wooden obsy! This got me thinking.. As I delve more into the planning of my obsy, I realise how important it is to consider the risks of Fire and Theft during the planning stages rather than as an after thought. I had a quick search through the forum and didn't find a great deal so, I thought I'd start this thread to see if we could collect some do's and dont's together. I guess it breaks down into Prevention and Detection So, how do you prevent and detect Fire and Theft. I'll go first with my tip... I don't think it a good idea to build your wooden obsy against a BBQ !!
