    OUCH that is expensive, i bet its top quality though. APM do some fine equipment and i have thought about a Barlow for imaging Venus in V for some time

    A fine set of images Fedele. I have looked backwards and forwards at the images for quite a while, i am think the image with ADC is a little sharper than the others. What do you think or is the fact you are using the ADC tricking my eyes and convincing me 🙂

    I haven't done that, I was a little concerned about transfer speeds even with USB 3. I don't think it should be a problem though, just to change the storage location in Firecapture. Something to try next time i think.

    Excellent as always Avani, have you checked what view was at the same time from your location with WinJupos?

    Excellent Reggie, good too see the Mak 180 "planet killer" do the business!
  6. Pete Presland
    very nicely captured

    regarding space, i bought an 2tb SSD external hard drive to transfer data on to temporally when disc space is getting low and my SSD hard drive is 2TB.

    Not sure there is any huge difference between the two images, both are very good with plenty of detail visible. Difficult to be 100% certain as the centre is always going to look sharper as the features rotate into it.

    He has been getting some fine results with hie set up, so it is definitely doable with a cheaper filter. The Dob is better suited to UV imaging according to most of the planetary imagers i have spoken to. The biggest key as always, is the conditions something money can not buy unfortunately.

    The UV filter i have cost lot of money, nearly £200 i think. I do sometimes think it is probably a bit too much to spend on one filter, which i use on one one planet (when at the right phase) and not as often as would like to.

    I guess some of the UV signal would be blocked on your C14, the same as it is on my C9.25. But the results with that extra aperture would be interesting to see.

    And there was me thinking now the clocks have gone back, i might be able to finally get some planetary imaging done!
  13. Pete Presland
    Terrific set of images, a fine level of details visible in all of them.
  14. Pete Presland
    A fine looking images Barv, looks spot on to me in term of processing. A good level of detail right across the disc and in the GRS.
  15. Pete Presland
    Excellent images and animation, some very nice details visible there.
  16. Pete Presland
    Very nice, the animation has a real 3D look to it !

    Superb image Kostas, i have only ever managed that once with my C9.25.
  18. Pete Presland
    A fine set of images, rotated image looks particularly good.

    Dreadfully poor conditions this morning, but much better on the 14th. Taken a while to decide whether i can squeeze anymore details from this image, without it looking over the top. 30,000 frames captured, stacked 5% and sharpened in REG6 using the dyadic sharpening. C9.25, Asi462mm, Baader UV filter, X1.8 Barlow

    A little later with a flock of birds, gate crashing the scene Canon 750d and 300mm lens

    Simple Moon setting this morning 07.30, 29.10.2023, with the added bonus of Jupiter to the left. Canon 750d and 300mm telephoto lens.
  22. Pete Presland
    Here is the link to the homemade built filter. 200mm is probably too large on a lot of occasions when the seeing is not god enough to support it.
  23. Pete Presland
  24. Pete Presland
    so many excellent images to pick from. The animation is a worthy overall winner, simply stunning!
  25. Pete Presland
    Whoops i normally say 🙂 it is a home made 200m diameter Baader OD3.8 Film Filter.
