  1. From the album: Celestron Nexstar 8i

  2. From the album: Celestron Nexstar 8i

    268 frames with the old white Xbox 360 Live Vision cam, Celestron UV/IR Cutoff filter, Bintel ED 2x Barlow with lens removed (used as extension tube). Full 640 x 480, starting to see sensor pixels and don't ya just love that noise in the bottom right hand corner. Possible my last image. As good as it's been, the Xbox 360 webcam is near the end of it's imaging days for me. Not that it has problems, but I've upgraded to something better for the job.

    Taken with the old white Xbox Live Vision webcam, Celestron Nexstar 8i SCT, Celestron UV\IR Cutoff filter. One of the moons starting to show on the left hand side which I could've enhanced. Conditions for the night clear, cool, still but wobbly.

  5. From the album: Celestron Nexstar 8i

    First try with Winjupos. The final image was from poor data converted to monochrome. 6 videos of Jupiter each stacked with Autostakkert 2, wavelets in Registax 6, adjusted overall appearance, sharpened, reduced noise in PaintDotNet. Then with the 6 images they were put through Winjupos for de-rotation. A mix of filters was then applied from Pixlr-omatic then back to PaintDotNet to finish off. The last image in this series of 4 was the most detail I could pull out from the data. Taken with the white Xbox 360 Live Vision webcam, Celestron Nexstar 8i and 2x Barlow.

    Can you spot the moon? A recently processed Jupiter, bold and in your face with overlay filters test from Pixlr-omatic from an almost non existent colour image.

  15. From the album: Nikon D3100 DSLR

    Re-do, better colour and reduced some noise.
  16. From the album: Nikon D3100 DSLR

    The left hand side of The Milky Way, 18mm stock lens, ISO 1600, f/5.6, 15 shots at 20 seconds. Brought to life with RegiStar, Astroart and PDN.
  17. Some nice neb showing there happy-kat, nice one. The 15-85mm zoom sounds like a go'er. At 15mm, 15 second exposures should be good. I'd be tempted to try 20 seconds too. You should get away with it on stars closer to the pole star.
