nice image keep up the good work,hope the back and hip is do in well

ps i love the Venus image not got one of it yet,i was round all the family the other day looking for a point and shoot type camera so i could pop it over the ep as the d10 is not good at that ,but never tried great Venus image

sounds like a great night ,due to ill health of a family member i can not get out at the min,i did make a solar filter with some thousand oaks rg film the baader gives that white view and this thousand oaks stuff gives a orange one my sister got it as a late b day pressie so the "light side shall get a go ,we have cloud as normal now i want to get out to film the sun, beat on a day time,and beat on a night time

hi there Neptune is a let down in away a whitey,blueish green color very small ceres is the same (not the same color of course)

hi Isabelle seeing does help since i had that great view with clevis scope not seen it since ,as the shed walls of the obs does not let me go that far down to the horizon and getting up early is not fro me hope ya have some luck ,the other night it almost looked like a orange,tear drop with a white top

Hi Isabelle nice to see you back hope you and the hubby are well,me and Clive (telesto) were out about 3 weeks ago it was about midnight when clive said i think a found mars he got a bit of video as well about 19 secs you could see the polar cap and 2 dark features it was cool since then every time i look its just a orange ball

pat

my laptop batt died a week or two ago not been out for ages

nice

hi mate come on,stick at it ,your not gonna let it beat ya are you ,? mate the 2" lpf you will see the difference in your shots for surei,if juoiter is to bright turn the gain down abit last night was rubbish here

have you considered make in a barn door tracker ? they so easy to make and work a treat

hi neil

pps i forgot to mention,with the looks of sharpcap,its picked up the tesco camera software,what i would do is just delete all the tesco software of the laptop ,then just load the drivers for the tesco web cam and thats it do not load the rest of the software ,telesto ,Clive my very good friend had the same problem,you seemed to have gained a few extra settings that are throw in the cam out

the rgb24 that should be yuu2 i see your camera is not showing on the top right hand corner as i said neil delete all the tesco webcam stuff and just load the drivers thats allfor the webcam heres a link neil for a video on sharpcap

hi neil,sounds like fun,with the wc when you say you taped the ring to it ?,with the phillips cam did you do the same there ?have you got the right adapters?because it sounds like its not getting enough inwards traveli ts hard to get stars to focus with a web cam the moon and planets might be the best place as these webcams have tiny chips hope you have more luck the screen flashing all colors does not sound right

i can not wait to see a moon one

try a cheap sky watcher 2" lpf filter blue taked to the lens of the camera then do ya wide field it gets rid of the orange glow and lets me take longer subs at lower iso speeds its worth ago the filter can also be used with the scope,you can get a clip in filter the price is crazy and you get the same results for a 5th of the price

they a little dark Neil. get some brightness going in these just had a play with one of ya pics theres a lot of stars just nudge the curves up a bit they great not had a play with that ice yet any good ?

what length are the subs ?are they single shots or a multiple for each pic?

does it wash m81/82 out theirs some great galaxy's around there

nice image i got some like this the other day nicely framed with the roofs

wow neil thats a calssic image you captured great image i am try in to do more visual and drwning this year the dark side is very tempting how did you get the 2mins ?did you have the eq tricking ?

what ever way it looks great well done

they would be

hi great images,hows you and the hubby well i hope, Venus is a great sight with a set of 10x60 binos you could see Neptune the other day ,all in the same field of view jupiter is still a great sight here at the min ,Perseus as me hooked at the moment i saw the crab nebula for the first time last night great night ,nice to see you back

hi paul sorry was a hectic week last week will be around on skype in the week

hi neil looks good hope in to get out tonight ,was out with the 90mm only last night low cloud ,the moon was a great butter yellow checked that out snapped a few images with the 10d and came in

just had a look ,a may just get one sheet and make a square shaped one just spoke to a guy on the phone he reckons that i would need another glass filter for the other endthe web cam/cannon 10d,but that may be not so we will see cheers

what size are the sheets ?

its a great site for that i want a filter now for my 12" i`m a bit worried about the heat that may build up in the tube

i see now neil cool i am a radio ham and i use this to keep a eye on sunspots for propagation ,it would be good to compare what sun spots you get to whats on the sun
