Neil As I've said before absolutely love your images.... So with these two images is the smaller one the original taken from the pipp 640x480 video? When you increase the size from the original do you always 1.5 drizzle in AutoStakket or do you ever resize the image in PS or Image Analyser? Also I've never used the winjupos for derotation is it easy to use? Normally I only take 3min max avi's of Jupiter so how long a video can you take using winjupos? Sorry so many questions, learning all the time! 🤔

Wow thats really in depth..... Lots for me to think about really appreciate your comments 👍

Wow that's really interesting, can't believe the quality difference between the two cameras & ring nebula & whirlpool galaxy amazing, thanks for that 😀

Hi Vlaiv Thanks for the reply, I've been looking at what others are able to get with a similar setup to mine. I use a skywatcher 250p Reflector f4.7 for planetary with a QHY5L-iic & a 2.5 Barlow & wanted to get better quality images. I've seen ones who use the QHY5III462C with a 245MM Orion f6.3 ( not quite the same scope but similar) who are able to get outstanding images & they seem to be a lot larger than what I get with my QHY5L-iic. Just trying to understand if that's down to the smaller pixel size or maybe more FPS & better sensitivity. So really interested in anyone who has had both cameras & experienced the difference between them. yelsac

Brilliant I look forward to hearing how you get on & what you think about image size, clear skies 👍

Hi Adrian Just wondered if you have had a go with the 462 on planetary? Just wondering what the difference in picture size would be with exactly the same setup from using your QHY5-lI-C. Noticed the 462 Pixel Size is smaller at 2.9um x 2.9um whereas the other one is 3.75um x 3.75um. Not sure what difference that would equal in the size of the image.

Interesting, brilliant will have a look🙂

Wow so you only use one of the wavelets to sharpen & don't use the linked box... Not sure what you mean by the image analyzer?

Hi Neil No problem I completely understand. Would really like to know have you got any processing tips? Not sure if you've ever posted any videos of how you process images etc, sorry I know its rather cheeky to ask. Just really enjoy your images regards Yelsac

Hi Neil Love the detail you get from Jupiter, I've got a 10" reflector & rarely get much detail , also find it difficult to not over process things. I see your using the QHY 462c, would you recommend it? Again really love you images 👍

Hi Adrian Thanks for your reply, thats really interesting i was waiting for ZWO recommendations not QHY5. I will have a look into that one. Have to be honest I was looking at ZWO ASI290MC & other ZWO models wasn't sure how they match up against QHY5. I see most seem to go towards ZWO. Andrew

Watched a video on how to use the linked wavelets on registax & it was a game changer so chuffed setup as before- 250p, NEQ6, QHY5Liic, it was blown a bit x3

Finally got round to processing some jupiter vids from the 20th of August. Nice to get the GRS & one of the moons setup- 250p, Rev 2.5 barlow, QHY5Liic. Can never seem to get sharp images but hey-ho will keep trying. Recently found out I should be looking at the histogram while using sharpcap so will try that.

As above really, I've been using the qhy5liic for a while & have really enjoyed it but I'd like to get more detail & sharpness with the planets. Not wanting to get all the filters etc so really want a colour camera rather than a mono. My setup- I use two different scopes for imaging 127 mak & 250p with 2.5 barlow & sometimes an extention if the seeing is really good (not often), all on a NEQ6. Just wondered what would be a good upgrade & worth buying

Thanks for your reply. Noticed in your sig you have a 6" Newt have you tried the binos with that? Had a go last night with 5” Mak & was extremely impressed with the view of Jupiter, could see a lot more detail with both eyes than Cyclops. You say you don't use the supplied WO 20mm eyepieces aren't they any good? To be honest that’s all I've been using to this point because they’re the only ones I've got two of. Would you recommend the 10mm SvBonys? (I know they aren’t too expensive) I presume you use them without the Barlow? Might try & get some 15mm from somewhere as well. all the best Yelsac

Hi Just recently acquired some William Optics binoviewers & was wondering if any use them with reflecter scopes & if so what eyepieces would you recommend? I have a 6" & 10" skywatcher scopes on NEQ6. I can reach focus with the WO Binoviewer using the supplied 1.6 Barlow & a low profile 2" to 1.25" adapter. I've only used the 20mm eyepieces that came with it so far on the moon which was good. Have also tried them with 5" Mak which was ok but the magnification seemed a little much. Any thoughts & advice would be great. Learning all the time....🤦‍♂️ Yelsac

Managed to get one pic in between the showers yesterday, seeing was dreadful, had one break in the clouds/showers legged it out with all the gear. Extremely overexposed to pick up Saturn but that was it before the clouds came again! Setup 250p with QHY5L-IIC on NEQ6. Anyway happy to get a shot with them both in the same field of view, this country's weather absolutely stinks for astro events. Happy Days 😄

My friend you are a genius, worked like a treat. Many thanks for your help

Hi Got out the other night for the first time in ages. Managed to get some potentially good vids of Mars, however can't remember for the life of me how to use pipp correctly. When I first load in my vid I get this- Then I change the quality setting to reorder the frames in qualitiy order, next I go to processing tab to object detection & select center the object in each frame so I can use it in autostakke. But no matter what settings I put it on I get this at the end Dont know what I'm doing wrong but its really frustrating as I used to use this software all the time in the past. Any help would be great thanks.
