To buy or not to buy.

hi,

Light pollution filters can be used with monochrome ccd imaging. Adorindack Vidio Astronomy sells a light pollution filter ( the Astronomik city light pollution filter) that can be used for ccd or film imaging.

Also narrow band filters ( H alpha and OIII ) give spectaular results with in light polluted areas and can even be used when the full moon is out

Give then a call.

Jupiter & GRS 03-07-03

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

very nice detailed image. I just ordered a ToUcam Pro for planetary imgaing ( after trying a dig cam and a ccd cam )
It seems the only way to go to beat the seeing. It's amazing what a $90 camera can do.

When I get it, perhaps I can callon you for some advice as to how to best use it.

gibbous moon taken with Oiii filter

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

Here's a shot of last nights moon taken with a Televue Genesis SFG at F5, ST8-E, Schuler OIII filter, 5 x .11 seconds. Taken during early twlight.

its seems the narrow band green light works well to enhance the contrast.

C11 vs Starmaster 11

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

The Starmaster has better optics for sure ( but the c11 optics are very good ) ...the C11 is much more versatile .. depends on what you want.

clear skies,
