Webcam Settings Program - Change on Fly and Log...

Very interesting tip Dwight. Thank you very much. I always hated to keep on changing the different tabs to control the camera.

I've noticed that there is also a software to allow an unmodified Toucam to take long exposures: I guess I gotta try that too!

Ciao and thanks again for the info.

Herbig-Haro 222 - The Waterfall

Very interesting shot Jose!
The HH are really exotic and fascinating objects and your image is really very good since it shows them very well It sounds as it has been a long and difficult ordeal (4hrs??? how many days did it take you to gather all the data?), but congratulations on a job well done!

Ciao

PS I pretty much have the same set up you have, except for the fact that I have the ST-2000 color version and that I only took one image so far, so I have a very long way ahead of me.

First CCD shot: a little depressing.

I wanted to thank all of you for the precious suggestions and the even more precious encouragement.

I love this community: always able to find a helping hand!

Ciao and cieli sereni (clear skies in Italian).

Wes, you and Paolo are giving us a great lunar ride: it seems to be watching it out of a starship window!

This is the most impressive shot I've seen in a long time: the angle at which this crater is visible makes it a difficult subject, I'm sure, but also a very good looking one.

Ciao Wes and thanks for posting your work.

Saturn last night, reasonable seeing

Great image Dodi! Beautiful details on the planet bands and the hint of C ring is also quite remarkable.

What camera did you use?

Ciao
Luca
