Yes another Iris...................

Posted By Vincent Bert
I know I just posted an Iris, sorry about that. I must like this object as i shot it with the C9.25, the SV80S, and now the FS-102. Actually I took Lum data with the Tak back in May and had forgotten about it, and since my SV80S data was in need of a lum, I decided to mix the two together. So here's the breakdown

FS-102 F8 L 2 hours, Little Blair Valley, CA May 2006
SV80S F4.8 RGB 2 hours per channel, Tierra del Sol, CA September 2006
AP 900GTO
ST-2000XM Astrodon filters

OK, so I officially think I shot this one to death, I'll give it rest....until next year. 8)

M33 and Iris.....thanks

Posted By Vincent Bert
Thanks for the nice words about those images. I spent the better part of a day doing the processing and was pretty happy with the way they turned out.

Orion XT and Intelliscope Experts.......

Posted By Vincent Bert
On my recommedation a friend just bought his first scope an Orion XT8i but against my recommendation he also purchased the intelliscope DSC's. I wanted him to keep it as simple and frustration free as possible for a first scope. My question to you XT and intelliscope experts is what modifications will he have to make to the Orion dob mount and encoder mounting system to ensure that the DSC's will be even remotely useful. I have a hard time believing that these mounts are even close to orthagonal out of the box but maybe I am wrong about that.

Any suggestions on mods to ensure usefulness of the DSC's would be appreciated. thanks.

Some widefield Ha

Posted By Vincent Bert
I had horrible weather for imaging, clouds, then wind, then rain, then more clouds, more wind, well you get the picture. Out of 4 nights and 50 hours of darkness I was able to get a grand total of 6 hours of data spread over 2 images. Of course now that I am home and back to work the weather is perfect.
