Leo Triplet - 300d

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Jake,

Great! shot, I really like the wide field images and this
one has enough magnification to see some detail in each galaxy.
What would you estimate the sky mag to be at the location
you took this image at ?

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

C14 vs. Starmaster 14.5"

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Joe,

I have Starmaster 14.5 with Z-Mirror and GOTO, this
setup has given me some very good lunar and planetary
images and after having said that the rest of my post
may see contradictory.

IMO I would stay with the 10" F/5 Newt. and MI250 , the
resolution of the 10" will be all that almost any seeing
conditions will allow for planetary imaging and the 10"
primary will stay closer to thermal equilibrium.
I have always wondered if the field rotation in my
Alt/Az mount might be blurring very fine details and
of course your MI250 mount would not have that possible
problem.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Jupiter Moon Transit

Posted By Wesley Higgins
HI Ralph,

WOW! Great! shot and a double shadow transit to boot.
The only thing that I see that you might want to fix is
a slight double edge just off the perimeter of the planet and it may just be showing up on my monitor ,
I have this happen sometimes and I just use a clone tool
to erase it , great job way to go .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
