hi all removed my rotator a while ago on my C8 and just about to replace it ,if i dont put it at the same position will it still solve my images correctly,ie i have some old data at 206 degrees , so will it make the images line up with the old data orientation if that makes sense (if i use the same sequence in n.i.n.a) thanks

its 1/2"

hi does anyone know the diameter in mm for the above please

just a thought any comments welcome thanks

@tooth_dr did well to bring out the blues - something I didn't manage.  This is one other version - no better than anything else in here, just different. 

I resampled the data down and held off strong use of many tools as the data couldn't support them.

The core of M51 is showing detail and the filaments in NGC 5195 look quite defined and natural to my eye (?)

If there's one thing I've learned in AP, every person likes something different as evidenced by the comments here even!  Whatever you like at the end of processing is the best image 👍

thanks lee great job there ,i like it thanks

bearing in mind i used about 35 min data for each colour,where do you stop with imaging time?

Hi there

I ran some noise reduction and sharpening on the lum layer, and combined the RGB data with noise reduction and increased saturation.

thanks that looks well what was your workflow in pi please(what were the exact processes) thanks again

crop for me ,famtastic

very nice

still trying to get my head round pixinsight and a good work flow

@iwols would you mind posting the stack of the data to see what it looks like, looks like there might be some good potential here

here you go good luck :-}   thanks

will post later thanks

well some one suggested it may be too red so heres another process,any thoughts ?

Any comments or suggestions welcome good or bad thanks  Image54_DBE.t

Well guys some great observations/comments thanks

Just wondered if anyone had any comments or observations for imaging in sub zero temperatures either planetary or deep sky

well with the cost of power going up just wondered what %RH you set your dehumidifier to(i know the cost of equipment inside is worth it)😃 thanks

great image i had the same last night good mars but terrible jupiter

well had another go last night and got this

mars (2).tif

settings used

using c8 edge with asi678

102 seconds 7326 frames,image stabilisation off

Gain=76
Exposure=8.3560ms   Capture Area=800x600

well my first ever Mars taken last night,great to finally get this ,not sure where to go any comments advice welcome cheers

thanks guys

what do most use?

hi just wondered what the max video length for the moon is thanks

thanks whats the advantage of large sensor?
