Hello all. Thank heavens for this thread ! I was just about to pull the trigger on one of these with 1/10th glass. To say I'm uneasy would be this years' understatement. Think I'll just keep saving up 🙂 Thanks ALL Collin

Hi, Happy New Year everyone 🙂 Episode 41 had Ivo Jager's talk/presentation on StarTools. For the event Ivo used data from somewhere - think it may have been supplied by someone at FLO. I'd have to watch again to be sure. The data were very clean and Ivo didn't have to work massively hard to process it. It was very briefly discussed that Ivo could do a follow-up presentation - but this time using somewhat poorer data to give us an idea of how the software would cope, also giving greater insight as to how the toolset could be manipulated. I'd really like to see this. Regards Collin

Hi, you may already be planning to discuss this with your audience: I remember the first galaxy I viewed through a telescope and being mildly disappointed that I couldn't see it in colour 2 minutes on the difference between the human eye and a camera might be useful. Depending on where you talk about it in your timeline, you can use it or refer back to it as you segway into the "image processing" section ? Then you can really wow them when they see your dull grey image get transformed Just a thought, Collin
