not bad are they clive when ya next up you can have a go with it if you want

Hi all well last night was a great night for me .i gave the system a bit of a go and it worked .well sort of i will not go on about the settings ect as there in the dso`s forum on here i will include a few pics. well i started with double in Pers and i did have a few mistakes ,on i forgot to switch the pec on after training it for 8 mins forgot to hit play. that drama over i took 20x15 secs and moved on,they looked ok zoomed no trails M13 was next this was a lot easier the celestron 0.63 reducer worked well and framed it nice of course 35/40 mins would have been better but .i wanted to try a few clusters (the easy ones) a guide system would be just the job but for the time be in.i will stick and learn with what i have .the cannon 10 d is where am falling its not that great and its un moded so the night was clear dew was not a problem and the longest part was the darks but i did save them for next time . i saved all my data and can add to it later . its not easy i thought it would be ,but its not. i take my hat of to the guys who do hours of this work ,like this and there results are evident. please excuse my grammar ect as you can see a blind stab in the dark does work thanks for looking pat link to other pics and post http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-deep-sky/179970-firts-go-dso-s.html

yes the new scope is a wonder

a few more images did these last night.webcam and c gem sc9.25 xlt was a clouds damp night .but mars was out and the moon i did try for a M45 took one 55 sec and the cloud came

yes we had cloud rain and sleet all in the space of a hour

looking good its so easy to catch the bug with the pictures

hi Isabelle and hubby,hope ya both well.yes the shadows where so sharp ,the sun on the other hand was a little harder .got a so so image can not wait for a clear sunny day.am out tonight try in to capture some dso action with the whole setup

Last night and this afternoon.i got some shots of the sun,and some video of the moon and mars they are below my image voyage as begun i have posted the pics in all relevant threads webcam phillips 10d for sun mars webcam

yes what i did was point the scope towards that area took a 1 min sub ,it was on the pic but its not naked eye but you can see all the stars

m1 brill lots struggle to even find this gem 0III filter with my 12",it pops out the sky,a uhc filters works well as well

nice read thanks for the report great words and images .hope you and the hubby are well and fit pat

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 todd8137's Channel - YouTube

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?
