E-Lyra double star

Posted By Roland Christen
And here is a video stack of Vega (about 5000 frames combined), processed to show the diffraction pattern. Seeing was quite good but with the star jumping around about 3 -4 arc seconds. The video frame rate was set to 45 frames per second, which essentially froze the star, and Registax did the rest to line all the frames up perfectly.

Mars July 3 2014

In a separate set of 1 second exposures I captured 5 of Saturn's moons. This was done with the full frame size, and Saturn was of course overexposed. I therefore placed a properly exposed image in its place.

Maserati Music

Posted By Roland Christen
Kind of a lame sound, if you ask me. One of the guys here has a '72 Chevelle with a 427 race-built motor that produces some sweet music. It goes several octaves from lumpy idle thru warm cruising burble to high pitched snarl wide open. Has more sound than a symphony orchestra.

NGC6334 - Cat's Paw nebula

Posted By Roland Christen
Here is the H-alpha portion, which I stretched even more to show all the faint stuff. In fact, the image goes well beyond the frame in all directions. There's H-alpha all over the place.
