Taken last night, mosaic of the Rosette Nebula. Conditions: Temp: -2.4°C and clear and calm winds Camera: STC-7 cooled to -30°C Filter:...
C/2021 A1 (Leonard) imaged pre-dawn under some haze. I guess some folks were able to catch the comet near M3. One image: 60' for and LRGB set.
The HH Nebula taken with STC-7 + SC-2, AP 130GTX with compressor and an AP900 mount. LRGB image set of four exposure per channel, 300 seconds....
Thanks Doug. The setup is collecting ~1Gb of data each night. Adding a night's collection to Maxim is easy although one has to perform the...
Orion Nebula imaged via an STC-7 and AP 130 GTC with telecompressor at f/4.5. Total of 12 images @ 120' for each RGB channel, binned 2x2 for the...
Thanks...
Same subject with more data from last night and intensive processing.
Switched scopes to a 130mm refractor with telecompressor for f/4.5 at 585mm. Camera STC-7 + SC-2 AP 900 mount Subs of 180' for each channel,...
Four images captured over the past weeks using an STC-7, StarChaser 2, AP 900 mount and an AP R-H 305mm fl at f/3.6. M27 was captured a bit...
If I might jump in? The calc for guider looks suspect: Guider: 7.4μm / 3910 x 0.7 x 206 = 0.28 arcseconds per pixel, so again, 157 pixels. Using...
Thanks Terry.... The encouragement is appreciated.
Or better yet in the desert at a high altitude. I have a flattener that has a port for dry nitrogen purge from the old days of hypered Tech Pan.
Woke up around 4AM and the allure of a cup of Kicking Horse coffee was to much, so decided to get up and indulge and also image M42. Good timing...
Thanks for the encouraging words. The 8 panel mosaic is difficult whereas a 4 panel seems much easier. Taking a LLRGB 8p mosaic would be a...
Here's a Cirrus nebula captured over several nights and an eight panel of M31. The M31 has some offset in the background across the mosaic. Taken...
WilCo.. Thanks Doug... Tim
Having read the STC-7 manual (appendix B-2) for the procedure on recharging the Desiccant; one question. There's some grease on the...
At 100km (what's a km?) the speed works out to 91,000 MPH. Booking!
The bright one does look like a meteor. Image: 5 second exposure; binned 2x2; 20mm lens (44.44 arc-sec/pixel). The 'meteor' coordinates are...
Correct. More images are needed and median would have removed the artifact. I was trying out a 22mm Nikon F lenses mounted in the STC7 and it...
