Nice clear images, something for me to aspire to 😊

Me too! I effectively failed last night....

Darn sight better than my attempts yesterday evening. Jupiter was bouncing around all over the place. Couldn't be certain of good focus which was evident this morning trying to tease something out of the data. Still was my first time and also with an osc cam , so room for me to improve, though maybe not as good as this from you Graham...

One thing I've noticed with cut&paste is occasionally a forward or training space that needs deleting.

Yes migrated the current settings over to new pc.

Mm. Perhaps ask Mike as if there's a bug. I'll stick my neck out and ask you didn't have finger trouble when you manually corrected wrong or missing values on the ftp?

By copy, do you mean you exported settings from the old pc and then imported into the new? Perhaps ask Mike on the AllSkEye site?

It's on a par with some I've recorded over the last year or so. Still struggling somewhat with trying to improve the colour.

Truncated timelapse...

Last Night - Aurora Keogram - NE Scotland - 22-23rd October 2022

Nice Steve.

Looks great, I am so about to pull the trigger on a Quark! have you mastered the tuning yet? any tips you like to extend? Thanks!

Sadly that day was the last opportunity I had to use the Quark.

Each day since has been either cloudy or full of rain! The clouds in the box from FLO were particularly strong this time. I hoped yesterday and today (Sat/Sun) would offer opportunity, but there's too much upper cloud.

Marvellous. 

Other images : Again roughly processed ...

Roughly processed; AS3 & Imppg. More practice needed! I've not had this much detail on my Lunt LS60tha!
Tuned on setting I received the unit.
No flats applied
William Optics 102GT + diagonal + uv/ir cut + tilt adapter + ZWO 174mm (cool)

Tuning at around 8-9 minutes from switch on. Sequence of four images as the tuner warmed.

Starts at T+00, then T+04, T+06 then T+08

Thanks.

Thought I was being good buying from a Britsh firm..

.......mind I have since read the altair versions are re-badged.

Hi Steve,

Is that the zwo cam? I have the altair hypercam version and it's very slow. Hard to get above 17fps even with reduced roi.

AllSkEye software - ZWO 178mc - masked out 1/2 vertical for ground.

Great. Hope the Sun's still there for when our cloud disappears, that lower spot looks interesting.

Brilliant,  well deserved. 

Crisp!

Ah you did capture the big prom - was looking for it on the first few images. Brill!

Late to this, but good to know FLO go the extra yard and check Quarks before despatch.  I keep asking my usual goto if they'll do the same; but don't answer!

Should be coming up to the quoted re-stock time, have already sorted a scope to use.

Some brilliant entries.

Wholly CaK....

Superb!

A touch too dark and contrasty for my taste I have to say ... 😉

I find PIPP struggles on partial discs and especially thin crescents , I recently came across this bit of software that does a pretty good job of centring and cropping when PIPP doesn't want to play .... https://www.astrodmx-capture.org.uk/astrocrop/

Interesting piece of software. Thanks Steve.

Nice detail.
