Saturn - Nov 12

Posted By Vincent Bert
Great image Chris! You mentioned something on your webpage about the white balance setting. I have been using auto white balance and sometimes get red tinted images. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your grandmother. Vince

Wow Wes, you really did some marathon imaging on first light with your new scope. Another jaw dropping image. I cant wait to see the images when you get another night like that! Please keep em coming.

Plato Observation (November 22, 2004)

Posted By Vincent Bert
Carlos, an outstanding drawing of Plato. You have once again motivated me to put away the webcam for the evening (well at least until Saturn comes up wink ) and do some honest observing of the moon as your Plato reminds me of how much my observing skills have lapsed!! Great stuff, thanks. Vince

Saturn 11-27-04

Posted By Vincent Bert
Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I felt it was my best Saturn to date. When I got up at 2am the seeing would not even support an image at F10, then about 4 am, like magic, I had very steady skies. By 5 am, seeing was poor to fair again. Hey it was only an hour, but I'll take it!!

James, when I used the NEWT program for my 10" F6 it hit the focus point within 1/16th inch and that error could have been my slop in measuring distances. You must know the *exact* FL of your mirror to use the program with any accuracy.

Colors in M42

Posted By Vincent Bert
In my 20" I see abundant pink in M42 and its not subtle, but jumps out more in transparent skies. I cant vouch for light polluted conditions because i only set up the 20" in mag 6 or better skies. I have also seen the green hue of Saturns SPR this year on nights of good seeing, also in the 20" scope. Now here's one for you............has anyone of you seen blue in M51? Russ, that should start a debate on the Russian forums.

Hi Chris, kumusta ka!! Awesome image. I wish I could get images like that with my C8. I havent had a night of decent seeing in over 3 months!! Hope all is well for you. Keep the great images coming. Vince.....clouded out and wet in San Diego.
