  1. Happy New Year, wishing you all clear and dark skies for 2014

  2. Awesome night last night, hope everybody dressed warm and had a peak as I think it is the best we have had all Dec. (Dodging storms, clouds and rain, seems to have become the norm!)

  3. From the album: Imaging Jupiter

    Jupiter - EQ5Pro, 127Mak-Cas - F12 QHY5l - Colour +-1000f (1.2 Gb 1min05') -7C Pipp, AS!2, Registax6 (75% Stack, Wavelets, RGB Align, Contrast) This was taken on the 28 Dec 13 at about -7C did about 1000 images
  4. From the album: Imaging Jupiter

    Jupiter - 127Mak-Cas - F12 - AS!2 - 750 Stack - Denoise / Sharpen - Histogram Stretch - RGB Rebalance - Midtones adj This was taken on the 22nd at about 2C did about 1400 images, but due to clouds and poor seeing has been reduced to 750. I have sacrificed some detail on the planet to include the moons, think it is better like this though.

  5. From the album: Imaging Jupiter

    Jupiter - 127Mak-Cas - F12 - AS!2 - 840 Stack - Denoise / Sharpen - Histogram Stretch - RGB Rebalance - Midtones adj This was taken on the 22nd at about 2C did about 1400 images, but due to clouds and poor seeing has been reduced to 840. I read a great post which helped me a great deal in getting a better image. http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/184821-beginners-guide-to-stacking-planetary-images-with-autostakkert2/?hl=+registax (Thanks James) Going to continue processing and see if I can get this better.
  6. Just had 4 hrs of playing with new toys, sky was clear and seeing was okay at times. Happy camper going to bed with a smile on my face.

      Lucky you. I've yet to use my CG-5 properly yet. With no back garden it hard to get out and have a play.

  7. Put new mount (EQ5) through its paces last night and got some nice frames of Jupiter - Seeing was poor though.

      Great stuff. I hope that you enjoy using it.

  8. My new mount has arrived ... Drumroll please! Now just waiting on my new scope and I'm all set!

  9. Still waiting for my mount to be delivered ... so frustrating when a delivery company robs one of clear sky's.

  10. Just traded my mount in on a EQ5 Pro ... as excited as a kid in a candy store!

      Good job.

      I have the Celestron version, very solid mount but haven't got round to using it properly yet.

  11. 1 hr and waiting in anticipation for what ISON is going to do?
