Jupiter 10/09/10 1:15 am seeing not very good at all image very blurry and wobbly unable to even use a barlow could this be due to previous heavy rain that is now evaporating and distorting the atmosphere? Can it affect it like this?

Anyway got a couple first is untouched and second and third has gone through GIMP

Not sure which is best

Thanks

The 3rd is a bit over-done, but wow the first two are great!

Nice stuff. Good detail. I agree that the 3rd is a bit over-processed.

Hi again, Kevin. What do you think of the Revelation Crayford? Does it make focusing a lot easier?

Best regards,

Hi Ralph and thx for the comments

The camera is the Philips SPC900NC webcam

The revelation is a great bit of kit for the money and essential for me as I have quite a bit of image shift when trying to focus which is common in SCT’s its great for getting that fine focus at high powers also

I would highly recommend one

Thanks for the reply Kevin. You have got great detail with the webcam, particularly in such poor seeing.

I am using the older Toucam 840K. Very interested in your views on the Revelation. I use a C8 and find the focusing quite coarse and difficult to get sharp focus. The image does shift a bit also, which can be annoying. Will seriously consider the Revelation - it seems very well priced. Many Thanks.

Best Regards,

Ralph:)

Very nice small scale images!

Yes ... the atmosphere is very unstable at the moment (hence the showers), this means that there is likely to be a lot of turbulence which causes poor seeing.

Thanks for clarifying that for me brianb

　

I have also just figured out how to increase and cut the image size now and uploaded it

I assume this is what you have to do with a smaller image ?

　

Thanks
