  1. Some lovely details on Mars there Simon! Well done indeed
  2. Details looking great Peter! Well done
  3. Excellent work Peter. Loads of detail on Saturn, particularly at its low altitude. Well done indeed! Best Harvey
  4. Thanks Peter I was only using a 1.5X barlow. Image scale was increased in processing, which I did because it would stand it. Thanks for the compliment Best Harvey
  5. Hi That's a very tidy image. Conditions were pretty good generally last night with no jetstream around. You can go further in these conditions but you'll need to use that barlow I'm afraid. Some form of focus control is pretty essential with something like F20, but patience doing the focusing is key here. Best Harvey
  6. Hi again Guys Some fairly stable seeing here last night, although I would say that transparency was pretty average tbh. Pleased with this one though no2-13-09-2020@00-10ut.tifno2-13-09-2020@00-10ut.BMPno2-13-09-2020@00-10ut.BMP
  7. Thanks Guys for your help. I'll try the Beta release first Cheers Harvey
  8. Hi Guys I've just bought a ZWO462 camera. I can get this to work on Both sharpcap and ZWO's own software but for Some strange reason, fire capture doesn't see it. I have the latest drivers installed and my ZWO224 works fine on fire capture. Any clues please? Cheers Harvey
  9. Nicely done Simon, better conditions will come for sure! Best Wishes Harvey
  10. Hi Guys Some fairly steady seeing early this morning here, although transparency was only around 7/10. Hope you like it Best Wishes Harvey
  11. Superb Mars Simon, I was out later on, the seeing here was very jittery. Well done again! Regards Harvey
  12. Hi Guys thank you all so much for your encouraging comments. They're very much appreciated. Clear skies to you all! Best Wishes Harvey
  13. A nice image Pete. As mentioned elsewhere it's a little over exposed on the pole. It's difficult to tone this down, so may need a repro. It may be worth reducing capture times down to 3 mins to be safe, - I know that's what I do Regards Harvey
  14. Hi ADC stands for Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector. It's basically 2 lenses where the angles can be altered to compensate for light that defracts when it goes through the Earths atmosphere. By setting the positions correctly it ensures that the different wavelengths all hit the sensor as they should, which basically means that the image becomes noticeably sharper than if you didn't use one. The lower down the object is, the more benefit these give you. I hope this explains? Regards Harvey
  15. Hi Guys It's been a little while since I posted anything on here due to personal commitments. I finally managed to get out at silly o'clock on the morning of the 19th. Seeing was reasonable so I had a stab at Mars. Taken with the C14, ZWO 224 and a Pierre Astro ADC Hope you like it! Best Wishes Harvey
  16. Hi Radek, thanks once again. Main processing was done in Pixin, with a little bit in Astra Image.
  17. Thank you so much for the positive comment and encouragement Radec. I've done very little DS imaging, and with the lack of other comments I thought it couldn't have been very good! Really appreciate this Regards Harvey
  18. Lovely shot, well done!
  19. Hi Guys I thought I'd post this as I've not posted on this section before because I'm mainly a planetary imager. There is around 5 hours 45 mins of data here, taken with a QHY8L OSC camera and the C14 with a reducer. Focal length was 2.7 metres. Comments and constructive criticism always welcomed, but I hope you enjoy it. All the best Harvey NGC 4565.tiff
  20. Hi Guys Not as good as some images on here I know, but I am quite pleased with how this mosaic turned out at just a tad over 12 degrees. Thanks for looking
  21. Hi Guys I've not been out imaging for some time mainly due to personal reasons. I did however get out on the nights of the 17th and 18th. I was allowing the C14 plenty of time to cool whilst viewing through my binoculars. I was quite surprised at how saturn was looking, particularly on the 18th. I decided to slew the C14 towards it and started imaging it after it had cooled down. Here is the result, which I should add is a mosaic, because the moons needed to be captured separately. I'm pleasantly surprised at the level of detail captured bearing in mind its altitude here, which was just 15 deg at the time.
