LX-200 vs G-11 as an imaging mount

Posted By Ron Wodaski
It would also depend on what you want to put on that G-11 mount. WIth the right scope, a G-11 could be very nice. And it's upgradable to GOTO without too much fuss. The newer G-11s have a new (and better) process for making the worm and gear, and are better suited for photography than the originals.

I'm impressed at what you can do with the D60. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Canon D60 Moon "Mosaic" (x1/16 res)

Posted By Ron Wodaski
Really nice. Worth bragging about! Really good details, excellent contrast. Are you going to post the full-size version somewhere? It would be interesting to see, even if it is a large download.

st2k moon mosaic reprocessed....

Very nice. I think you are the limit of what sharpening can add to the image. Lots of detail, very good contrast.

D60 60 second andromeda

Posted By Ron Wodaski
There's more here than you may realize. I did some heavy-duty image process to fix the stars, smooth out the grain, smooth out the color, boost the histogram and then shrink the image so that the graininess wouldn't dominate. This is the result. You can see quite a bit of structure in the image.

Nice. It's amazing what the latest versions of these uncooled cameras can do.

ngc 6781 planetary nebula in Aquila

Posted By Ron Wodaski
Good detail and pretty deep, judging from the extended nebulosity you picked up. Might be a tad too green; have you got some light pollution at your sight?

M20 First LRGB with 7e

Posted By Ron Wodaski
You do have some of the blue nebulosity present, but it's weak. If you are imaging from as far north as Eugene, you have significant blue extinction from the atmosphere - this object is low enough to need a significant boost to the blue exposure. I would go at least 150% of the recommended blue exposure (1:1:1.6 would become 1:1.4:2.5, for example, including a boost to the green as well).
