Paul,

Another good! image , CSK predicts clear skies and good seeing tonight here in Oklahoma , I'm sure it will be clear
and MAYBE the seeing will be good , I hope to get some images of Jupiter tonight .

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Excellent! image, that 18" is bringing in some amazing detail, makes me wish I still had my 18" Starmaster.

Plato

Hi Mike,

I look at Lunar and planetary images all over the web
and very few of them make me say Wow out loud as your Plato
image did , great image and your Copernicus image is
amazing too .

Thanks,

Toucam 840 first light

Jose,

Excellent! first image, welcome to the dark side smile
As you know I imaged Lunar and planets for two years with
a digital camera and on average I think I achieve better images with a webcam , your digital camera images are the best I have seen and I expect nothing less from you with
a webcam :>)

Thanks,

Wes

"Soft" Jupiter from last night

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Jose,

Even though your seeing was not that great it is still a
very nice image .
Assuming you capture with K3CCDTools a tip you might want to try for focusing, set your frame rate to 25fps and focus while capturing a video , the faster frame rate helps in focusing and the refresh rate seems to be better during capture , of course you need to remember which avi
you used for focusing.

Thanks,

Jupiter again 03/31/04

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Eric,

Thanks,

I don't use any dark frames, stacking over 800 frames
helps with the signal to noise ratio and several rounds
of despeckel/slightly sharpen in Photo Shop 7 helps
to get the noise down too .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
