vdb142 dark nebulae in IC1396

Posted By Brian Roth

One of my favorites. This was a single 30min with an ST-2000xcm camera.

Horsehead nebulae

Posted By Brian Roth

I shot this exposure as the sun was coming up this morning. I have been waiting all summer for clear skies! Finally.
Single 30min exposure with a st-2000xcm.

1 min exposure of M42

Posted By Brian Roth

This was taken to merge with a longer exposure to keep the Trapezium from burning out. No unsharp mask was done just stretch. I processed it just to see what information was there. 1min with a st-2000xcm.

M42 revisited

Posted By Brian Roth

Ok, I combined that 1 min exposure with a 15 min exposure and processed it. Not a lot of unsharp masking as I like the smooth wispy look.

Rosette Neb with a meteor slice

I had two images bisected with meteors the other night. This one was the best. Single 30 min exposure with a ST-2000xcm.

Tech Pan replacement

Posted By Brian Roth

Has anyone done any research into Rollei R3 film as a replacement for tech pan. Has anyone tried to hyper it?

It seems to have the right technical properties. The data sheet has a sensitivity listed as 380nm to 730nm.

Haven't done film in a while but feeling a little nostalgic :>

How long is the wait for Meade’s 99 ep offer

Posted By Brian Roth

I have been waiting about six weeks and they haven't even cashed my check yet.

Meade LXD55 10" Newtonian compeditors

Posted By Brian Roth

If you want to get serious, here is the mount for the 10" This is a pic of my setup. A Celestron CGE computerized mount. Rock steady and accurate. The cheapo Meade dovetail has been replaced with a Losmandy universal plate. I use this setup for Astrophotography and so far the results are fantastic.

imaged with lxd 55 10"?

Posted By Brian Roth

Yes, but not on that cheezy mount. I image with the 10 on a Celestron CGE mount. I plan on changing the focuser but so far I have received pretty decent results.
