ATK-1HS camera

Posted By jim phillips

Hi Paul,
I use the Atik-1HS Monochrome for my lunar images and I am very bpleased with the performance. I do not understand how Damian and others get color images using it. So, when you figure that out please let me know. I prefer it to the Toucam on lunar B&W images. I also use the Atik 1C color camera for color images of the Planets (Saturn so far). I used it for the Saturn image published in the March issue of S&T. I like it but feel it is about as good as the Toucam, certainly no worse. The one negative thing about the Atik cameras which I have heard no ione else mention, is that the Toucam is lightwieght with a lightweight cable, and minimal tightening of the screw on the eyepiece holder is all you need to secure it. I have had both of my Atik cameras hit the floor on several occasions because the cable is so heavy that it will pull the camera out of the eyepiece holder if you have not tightened the screw snuggly and I mean really tightend it down.

Oh boy, that's beautiful!! Excellent job.
Perhaps yop could e-mail me directly and go through ecactly how you did this, with which exact filters and how you put the inages together. I'm pretty dense but if you go slow and don't expect I understand anything then, maybe, just maybe I'll get it.
Congratulations again on a Very Nice image.
