Saturn, Nov 27th

Posted By Vincent Bert
Posted this image on the CCD forum but its really more appropriate here. I woke up at 2 am to Pickering 4 skies but decided to tough it out anyway. While I had my eye glued to the EP the seeing improved dramaticly around 4 am so out came the webcam. The seeing was a P7 for about an hour, then went bad again about 5 am. This is my best Saturn to date and I feel very lucky to have gotten it. Thanks to Chris Go for helping me with the color balance on the Toucam. He suggested I set it to auto for about 10 seconds, then back to manual which freezes it so it will not change during the imaging session. It worked like a charm.

PST collimation issue

Posted By Vincent Bert
I just got a PST and noticed a double limb of the suns disk from about 11 oclock to 6 oclock positions. In addition sunspots do not get a sharp focus and display a little red spot right next to them. I beleive its just a collimation issue. I have tried adjusting the etalon and the double limb remains. Anyone else have this problem? Hopefully its not a sign of things to come after Meade has taken control.

24.5 hr Moon

Posted By Vincent Bert
The 24 hr moon was in a great spot for imaging on the west coast this past saturday evening. Definately nowhere near a record for young moons but it was fun to catch it in my 10X70 binos before the sun had set.

24.5 hr. new moon

Posted By Vincent Bert
I was able to capture a relatively new moon on Saturday evening (04-09-2005) from the west coast of the USA. However it would have been close to a record from Europe. Did anyone in Europe capture this event? The moon was in an excellent position, almost directly above the sun. I caught it in my 10X70 binos at 1852 PDT but the image was taken almost 30 minutes later.
