My 10" TMB/APM F/9 apo

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Jim,

That is one impressive scope and mount too!
The OTA dose not look to be at least 90" long
(F/9) is it a folded optic or other special
design ?
Thanks for posting the image , I'm still
drooling smile

Saturn imaging attempt - Question

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Tom,

Nice! Saturn , it looks like Saturn was below 45
degrees in altitude and you have some atmospheric dispersion
which produces the colors you ask about due to the color
channels not aligning correctly , you can correct most of
this by re-alinging the color channels during processing.
I re-alined your Saturn image and got rid of most of the
blue and red color , if you want I can post it here or send it to your email address , just let me know .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Saturn imaging attempt - Question

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Tom,

Per your request I posted your Saturn image with
the color channels re-alinged , this removes most
but not all of the effects of atmospheric dispersion .
I did the re-alingment in Imagesplus .

Thanks,

nikon 4300/Saturn

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi John,

Very nice Saturn , when I used to image with an Olympus
C-2100 digital camera I bought a cheap pair of the highest
magnification reading glasses from Walmart and wore them
when focusing, it helped a lot and no I am not
almost blind and needed them to see with :>)
Just a cheap and wacky way of enlarging the image .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Pocket PC's for obtaining images?

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Eugene,

Image storage would certainly be a problem , webcam
AVI files are huge , it is not unusual for me to have
10 to 15 Gig of video to process.
Focusing with such a small screen would be a problem too.
