First Planetary Image

Posted By Jake Jacobson
Hi Joe -

I think that is about 10,000 times better than my first attempt was - good work! What are the details? (Date, time, seeing conditions, type of camera, stacking, processing, what moons, etc?)

I am sure we will see some great images from you soon, you are off to a good start.

Jupiter in 6"refractor with webcam

Posted By Jake Jacobson
Wow -

That is some great detail. Especially considering the amount of false color. Excellent work, Lonnie!

Another Jupiter

Posted By Jake Jacobson
Hi Tom -

Your image looks quite clear - good job on the focusing. It does look a little overexposed. You might want to try experimenting with your camera settings.

Good work.

Re: SAC 7 SAC8 Are thay any good

Posted By Jake Jacobson
They are very good. They basically are a commercially made version of the Vesta/Toucam webcam modification developed by Steve Chambers of QCUIAG.

Many nice photos have been taken with these cameras

LX200 12"/f10 Stolen in Sweden!

Jonas -

I am sorry to hear about the loss - it is especially disturbing at this time of year, when most people are celebrating the holidays.

You might want to post the serial number as well, so that it can be verified against someone trying to sell it.

I hope that you get your telescope back.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Whats up with this deal?

Posted By Jake Jacobson
I wouldn't leave negative feedback over that, even though it is slightly lousy. At least no harm was done.

I think negative feedback should be reserved for such things as receiving merchandise that is in much poorer condition than advertised, seller doesn't make good on problems, etc. In those situations, you don't get what you pay for, and have been 'cheated' to some extent.

You didn't pay for anything, and he didn't send anything. It sucks, but at least there was no harm done, IMHO.

First Jupiter image TEC200

Posted By Jake Jacobson
Very nice image, Angel!

You must have had some good seeing, and your TEC200 must have some good optics!

Your processing looks very natural as well.

Good work and a super image!

Posted By Jake Jacobson
Looks very nice, Andrew!

Good work on the processing.

Your setup seems to work quite well for you! Do you image under dark skies, or with some light pollution?
