Got a few to go through. But this has come out quite well,

Orion 245mm Newt. EQ5 Mount. QHY 462C camera. GSO 3X ED Barlow 

Not sure why but oversampling can sometimes look really good. separation or something

Thats come out really well! You’re obviously having clear skies - fingers crossed the weather improves soon.

Cheers Mark. Saw it on the weather cloud expected at 4. But of course its getting earlier now. So setup up the Orion. Shooting in darkness has clearly increased quality hasnt it. Quite pleased with the fineness of detail coming out now

Glad that conditions are improving, despite the dreadfully early hour.  

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the skies clear again as I am missing the big fella!

Lovely Neil, great captures, also like the subtle processing too!

Very nice Neil, darkness is really helping things, didn't realise there would be that much difference.  Looks like a bit of colour in Saturn was it LRGB or is it just my eyes?

Thats a excellent image of Jupiter Neil loads of detail to peruse in this one. Regarding oversampling it is said the general rule is 5x per pixel max. But it as been argued that 7x is more realistic with todays equipment? It is what works best for you.

Hi Simon thanks. I dont always get the processing right. But natural is a goal worth striving for isnt it

Cheers

Thanks Craig It was the 462c. I processed it like a colour image. I then normally convert to greyscale. But i thought it looked good. So yes there is colour in it. Bit unorthodox i know.

Totally agree i got some with my Celestron 2x (japan) ultima barlow.  But the GSO 3X ED (china) seemed to just reveal layers of extra detail. Separation perhaps ?

Or a optical difference ? But the Ultima is no slouch. So i am most certainly going to do it again

Cheers Martyn

They have come out really well Neil. You should be pleased with them.  I like the colours and smoothness of the images
