  1. Yes I've done it once before, just a lot of bother as I've just bought a new camera for imaging Jupiter. Might try & leave it for a few weeks hopefully it won't do to much to the coatings. Happy days 👍 Unless anyone else suggests it will damage it sooner 🥴
  2. Oh the cap is left on, the blighter somehow sneaked in between the mirror & base of the reflecter where the collimating screws are, stupid creature 🫣
  3. Interesting so the fact it's organic does that cause more of a problem?
  4. Yes I think it did, I found 4 dead very small slugs where I store my scope. hadn't noticed them before. Thanks I'll have a look
  5. A bit late to the party. First light with new camera QHY5III 462c. Seeing was awful windy, misty, strong jetstream etc..... but just had to have a go at the double transit. Trying to get used to the new setup, but even though it wasn't idea conditions I could still see the improvements over the old QHY5LIIc. I'm excited about what could be possible on one of those clear nights if we ever get one! setup- 10" f4.8 reflector, QHY5III 462c, UV/IR cut, 2.5 Rev barlow, 120 sec avi, pipp, as3, image analyzer. A few all a little on the noisy side I'm afraid
  6. Unbelievable, silly slug has left it's trail all over my primary mirror 🤦 Anyone else had this, if so what did you do? Leave it, clean it? Stupid slugs, as if we don't have enough to struggle with in the sky 😡
  7. Great So am I right in saying, when I open the stacked image & enter the date/time & my long/lat then save, is that it? Or do I have to do more?
  8. Quick question Neil I've got a 6min Avi which I'm trying to put through winjupos. I've put it through pipp & quality which has reduced it a bit. Then in WJ I've selected the de-rotate of video, entered the start & end time but no idea how to get the image measurement of the Avi, do you have to stack it first to get an image?
  9. Really nice detail on that, I've recently purchased the QHY 462C so I apologize in advance for the dreadful cloudy nights coming! It's all my fault 🫣
  10. Excellent, what camera are you using?
  11. Hi Eris Appreciate you having a go, it does look a little less noisy than mine 👍
  12. Interesting so which is better de-rotating an image or a video?
  13. Must have a go at winjupos, next session I'll try a 6min vid 👍
  14. Thanks for your reply Alan Yes my exposure is at 5ms but the maximum FPS is around 68, I can get it up to 120fps if the video size is 320x240 but that's too small for me to capture. Appreciate your other thoughts 👍
  15. Woooow a lot more! Do you use this IR890 CH4 filter that you can get with the 462C?
  16. Thanks for having a go Neil really appreciate it 👍 I know it sounds obvious but I'm wondering if getting a more sensitive camera with a much higher frame rate is what I need. With my QHY5L-llc I take roughly 9k frames per avi at around 67fps at 640x480. Then cut that down with quality estimation to around 6K in pipp. Depending on the quality graph in AS3 I tend to take the percentage about 50% which normally is around 30-40% leaving me with around 1500 to 2000 frames that actually get stacked. Do you mind me asking with Jupiter what Video size & fps you get with the 462C? Also what percentage roughly (I know it depends on seeing etc..) you stack in AS3?
  17. Yes there's a little, still really frustrating though. Can't tell if the focus isn't quite there or if it's just ME! with my processing 🤔😁. Also I'm not sure if the scope is correctly aligned. I've bought a laser collimator which I've tested to make sure it itself is collimated but after using it & when I do a star test it looks slightly out! I think I could do with upgrading to get a more sensitive camera to. I know this is a real cheek but...... Could I ask Neil if you''ve got a moment or two would you mind having a quick go at processing the same image to see what you think? I've uploaded the original & the drizzled version. original.tif Drizzle15.tif
  18. 250p scope, QHY5L-IIc, 2mins avi at around 65 fps, Pipp 9k frames down to 6k, best 40% from Autostakkert, probably over did it with the wavelets in registax then a fiddle in Image Analyzer. Still trying to get the balance between detail/noise! I find the image is extremely noisy but didn't want to loose the detail I had 🙄. Its also 1.5 Drizzle & upside down 😂 Any thoughts advice welcomed & appreciated
  19. Love the detail you're able to get, very envious. Looks great 👍
  20. Thanks for your reply Craig. Wiener deconvolution, that's an interesting name, what is the purpose of that? Does it sharpen/blur? I haven't used Astrosurface, but I'll certainly have a look. Clear skies (one day/night 🤦)
  21. Jupiter 20/09 with 250p, QHY5L-IIc, x2.5 Barlow, NEQ6. Seeing wasn't great & although the majority of vids were awful had a couple of avi's where the seeing improved a little. Process- Pipp, Autostakket, Registax 6, Image Analyzer. Still struggling with getting the processing right, can't seem to get to "the natural look". Although its better than previous attempts, I find it hard to keep any sharpness/detail & not have it look over processed. Its trying to get the balance with not overcooking the wavelets in registax but still bringing out detail & having it look smooth. I found that using the AI Denoising in Image Analyzer sharpens the image a little kinder than the wavelets in registax. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated
  22. Oh dear I seem to have opened a can of worms here...... Well I know we don't always agree which I suppose keeps life interesting but I really appreciate both of your comments & imput. You both have so much experience that is so valuable to ones like me, so many thanks for your advice. Clear skies
