  1. I wonder if after so many great SHO, Hubble Palette, images were (and are) being produced by amateurs thanks to the color spectrum alignment in the famous 1995 Hubble image of "The Pillars of Creation"... if now we're about to see an advent of orange/red hue images imitating the James Webb Space Telescope ... JWST Palette???

    Not that's I'm saying that there is anything wrong with that, I have an idea of my own to do exactly that... I'm just wondering...

      I quite like the Hubble pallette, but not so sure about the JWST with the orange caste. It's too much like streetlamp glow for my taste, but I did love the first deep field image from JWST. That was gorgeous.

  2. HyperTuning of my CGEM has begun... report of my experience and real world performance difference coming soon....

  3. G'damn clouds... Come on the Australian famous drought where it's hot and not a cloud in the sky for months on end...

  4. Only 150 days left untill a major astronomical event for my wife and myself.

  8. My Televue 31mm Tye-5 Nagler monster has arrived... Lets play a little game with the demons of the astronomers curse... guessing game: how long will it be before I have a clear night to actually use it for the first time?

      Going back to work is not an option.... holiday to a clear location is a brilliant idea, and yes.. yes it is all my fault.

      Ah, so thats it... I also got my new 3X TV Barlow...must be why it also started to rain.

  14. The Eye of God... Much dimmer then I thought it would be in 7nm Halpha in a DSLR...

  15. All I'm going to say is.... FINALLY A MOONLESS CLEAR SKY PEOPLE....

      Sorry mate, had delete your last comment - no bypassing the swear filter please.

  16. As luck would have it... I setup, start imaging and 35 minutes in the CLOUDS ROLL IN!!! At least I got some subs I guess..

  17. Hoping for a cloud free weekend...

  18. I think I know how the Peach does his planetary images... all I need now is Jupiter to come back to prove or disprove my theory...

  19. Time for a new target....

  20. Almost a 4th clear night in a row... Almost... I guess 3 is better than none....

  21. Night 3 IN A ROW of imaging??? What da??? lucky week...

  22. WHAT? A second clear night in a row!!?? This never happened before... Except for the other time. I think it's time for a lottery ticket?

      what you need is the thunder 100s cloud scope, never disappoints...

    4. MarsG76

      MarsG76

      I have a solar max and solar filters BUT.... BUT... I know how the astro tease works, the moment I setup my solar scope the clouds will get curious and come around to "see what I am doing" ha ha ha... I don't want to pull my 8" apart to setup for solar viewing yet since I'm in the middle of a "pillars of creation " narrowband imaging project and have my guider and camera setup and calibrated for quick continuation of imaging... once the clouds clear out...

  25. Success in 30min subs F10 narrowband imaging... It's alive... ALIVE!!!! BUAHAHAHA
