any suggestions please😃

Hi all looking at a solar setup but just wondered what you would recommend ,already have a C8 edge which i think is a no no,and i already have a ts optics quad 100mm,just wondered what you guys recommend/suggest for the most cost effective/image quality route would be thanks

thanks michael

is that where it says dc

hi must say im getting obsessed with flats,i know nina tells you the average adu of a flat frame with its wizard but how do i check certain parts of the image itself if that makes sense thanks

Thanks I'm using a 414ex

im using a tracing panel light for the top one and a dedicated geoptic light panel for the bottom using nina flat frame wizard on both ,its just that the bottom one looks more even to me after i have stretched them both?

testing different ways of capturing flats with nina,which would you choose 1 top left then right stretched then second bottom left then to the right stretched thanks both within adu values

well another attempt any thoughts please

hi all been using an illuminated tracing panel for my flats but not convinced just looking at the Geoptik Flat Field Generator panel anyone have any comments please

thanks ivor appreciated,that looks good for 5 mins per filter,def need more pi knowledge

Thank you very much Ivor i think youve hit the nail on the head with various comments,im using the c8 edge now for a while instead of my ts optics,which doesnt help and the sombrero was very low just above a bungalow and maybe just below my obsy wall,add that to a few low clouds and my lack of pixinsight skills adds to something im not going to achieve,just done a very quick process with just 3x5 mins worth of subs LRGB with NGC 4565  and got this so dont think my processing is a million miles off(for me anyway)??.Any thoughts?Once again thank you

hi after struggling with pi for a long time decided to start at the basics do i have anything missing from a basic workflow thanks

well this is my poor attempt after 3 hours processing

Image11.tif

Thanks again still problems with my pi processing skills(or lack off),still trying to find my workflow

ive always imaged at 300 secs per sub but how do you know what is the perfect length for your subs please

hi 

can anyone process my master lights with pixinsight,to make sure they are ok thanks,im useless at processing and my image was terrible ,need to know im going in the right direction

just need to find a LS60 at a reasonable price now thanks guys😬

in fact just tried them and they are not working now,did the ini update you suggested in a previous post a while ago and seem to be working now,first time ive tried for a few weeks,thanks....really need to try having a go with different data but worried about messing my working system up ,any suggestions on what would be the easiest to have a go at,does EUMETCastView  process any data i am likely to be receiving ,cheers Alan

great image alan,very reluctant to try anything apart from my channel 2 reception 😬

hi all apart from the price does anyone have any comments on these 3 for imaging thanks

I would go with the Lunt.
 

Quarks are good but it can be a bit of a lottery as to whether you will get a good one or not.

With the pressure tuned Lunt you can get on band fairly quickly but with a quark it will take 15/20 mins to achieve, plus as the Sun heats up the Quark it will move off band and you will need to adjust again.

You can also double stack a 50mm Lunt which then gives in better contrast.

some great images on your site,could you tell me what you used for the first image dated SOL IN H⍺ – 29 AUGUST 2021,thats the kind of image i would love to capture thanks

Thanks Hughsie i see you have both,but what is the lunt 50 like compared to your lunt ls60 please?

Hi Alan an eye opener as always thanks for sharing ,what software are you using  for the processing,cheers

awesome thanks for sharing
