    Awesome advice, I owe you £50 🤣
  2. Adaaam75
    Oooh! This is a gem piece of advice thanks.
  3. Adaaam75
    Thanks Kon, so glad I posted!

    Can't wait to get back out and use the filter to see what difference it makes. I'll convert them to monochrome to understand the values and what I should be looking to achieve. Unfortunately the over-sharpening was as a result of inexperience in processing and the quality of the initial images/capture. I'll take a look at Astrosurface, I went with Registax because it's all anyone talks about but I'm open to other software just to find one I'm really comfortable with 👍🏼

    I did, which tells me my initial focusing was slightly off because I had to stretch the images more than I wanted to to get some sharpness at a cost of resolution. I'm hoping to be able to achieve better focus in future but not great seeing hampers visually focusing and my Bahtinov skills aren't great (apparently!).

    Just posted Kon, I'll read the comments over a coffee in the morning, let me know what you think....

    Guys, Constructive criticism please, seeing wasn't great and I was fumbling through Registax and GIMP but I'm very happy with my first real attempts. ASI 462MC through Sharpcap on a 9.25/AVX. No filters. Probably 2000 frames but loads binned due to poor seeing. Please bring the honesty and advice...
  9. Adaaam75
    Great idea 👍🏼
  10. Adaaam75
    That's a good point, I use Sharpcap and will consider using cloudy nights for practice! 👍🏼

    I'm not at DSO yet! I really am dipping my toe in the water of imaging the moon and Jupiter but want to nail the moon first and get used to focusing accurately. It takes me ages to get used to a bit of kit, and it doesn't help when i can't use it often 😭

    Thanks Kon, I'm going to get the SVBony IR Pass filter for the moon to hopefully improve stability, because I suspect at the moment it will give better results than without. I really appreciate your advice, just wish i could put it into practice more often!
  13. Adaaam75
    I would prefer not to sacrifce resolution, so in hindsight i will give the UV/IR a chance to see what results i get first. Would a colour capture simply be the ASI 462MC without a filter.
  14. Adaaam75
    Well it's good to know that the UV/IR filter can assist with images like that! So the IR Pass 685nm will assist with stabilising the moon? The issue I have is my location. Moving from the South to the North not only brings consistently poor weather, it also gives bad seeing the majority of the time when there are no clouds!

    Stunning image of Venus! So I have the UV/IR Cut filter, it was recommended when I bought the 462mc, but I was slightly naive at the time and didn't really get why I needed it. Will this filter assist with the seeing then as the IR Pass 685nm? And yes Happy-Kat, it is the colour version 462, so would this filter cut the colour which will then be drawn out in processing like your Venus image Kon?
