wow thats a superb bunch of images

Hi after 2 years and only just getting my head round pi just wondered how much difference calibrating makes heres 4 images which do you prefer

my final shot at processing just the r,g,b, channels

they are all stacked fit file red green blue lum

no problem paul you seem to have a lack of colour? I can usually get my head round anything eventually but astro processing seems to win me,tried pixinsight and astropixel processor ,but just cant seem to get that final image,but thanks for giving it a go good luck

just think my data is better than my processing ?? Anyone fancy trying https://www.dropbox.com/sh/17j7m85hdcwsjan/AADzRZrHyiBc6Fzr-4MsxP_Ja?dl=0

hi its the same on all filters merlin

where would you guess these bunnies are thanks

Well gave ccd cover a quick wipe and still same will try turning ccd 90 deg tomorrow and see results

will the dots be dust?

only show when pointing in direction of moon,which i usually dont do

if i turn my ccd 90 deg and take another image will that tell me if its the ccd or my filter/telescope?

hi all just wondered where would you suspect the dirt thanks lens filter ccd

thanks for that ide never have slept,really is some spectacle😀 link to video

Hi all just been looking into the sky to see if its worth imaging and i saw what looked like a satellite going over followed by approx 20 more all in the same line and spaced out the same with approx 10 in the sky at once any ideas?

hi just replaced my qhy5l ii camera on my oag as it was finicky connecting ,but now does not guide as it doesnt get enough snr to guide with and looses the star after a few seconds,any advice please

hi all after 3months decided to slide the roof off again and give it a go ,well after getting the runtime 55 error and replacing my ini file i now had problems with the qhy 5ii ccd on my off axis guider not connecting then connecting after a repower up frustration was growing,finally decided i need a new ccd for my oag,something similar to my qhy 5ii,now im using a TS-Optics Imaging Star 100mm scope on a heq5 ,just wondered what you guys would recommend thanks any thoughts on the asi 120 mini or asi 290

how would you guys improve this especially the graininess cheers

hi first image for months and just updated my astropixelprocessor program and had a quick go at the bubble neb,comments suggetions req,seem to be able to get the data ok but really struggle still with the processing cheers p.s. theres about 20 mins each of r,g,b and ha with a few darks thrown in

thanks guys is there much difference between the asi 120 and the mini 120 thanks

superb

hi all happy with my setup and the only problem i have is with my guide camera i use with my oag,occasionally it will not connect but bearing in mind im accessing my set up remotely from the house with about 6 usb items on it so may not be completely the cameras fault ,would really like to try a different make of camera so just wondered if any one could suggest a cheap mono camera with roughly same fov as the qhy thanks
