Copernicus 11-05-04

Posted By Tyler Allred
I got up this morning at 3:00 AM to try for Saturn and a few moon shots. The seeing was the best that I have had in weeks, although far from great. I got some good avi's of Saturn that I will process later, but tried a quick processing attempt on Copernicus. Here it is.
Cheers,

Saturn with Ultima 2000 8" SCT

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello all. I finally got around to processing one of my Saturn AVI's from a few nights back. I think it turned out OK, considering the aperture of the scope and the seeing conditions. I still need lots of work on my technique, but I am learning slowly. Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Aurora Tonight!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Just a quick note to let you know that we are having some pretty good Aurora activity here in Utah tonight. We usually don't see any.... it's quite unusual for this latitude. Anyone else seeing anything?

Nikon Lens Scope Converter?

Posted By Tyler Allred
Has anyone ever tried using a Nikon Lens Scope Converter? This is a device that attaches to a Nikon Camera lens and provides a prism and a 10mm eyepiece that allows the lens to be used as a small telescope. I'm sure the quality wouldn't be great, but it might come in handy when traveling to destinations where carrying a telescope and a camera setup is impractical. Anyone know anything about this product? I know they are no longer made, but come up occasionally on the used market. Just wondering.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - Is there any other product that works in a similar fashion? I would love to try using my camera lenses as small refractors.

Saturn from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all,
I tried another run at Saturn a few nights back with my 8" SCT. The seeing was OK... transparency was good, but the atmosphere was pretty unstable. At any rate, I thought the image turned out OK. I processed it so as to be able to see a hint of C ring. It could use more work, probably a slight gaussian blur, but here it is ( a work in progress).
Cheers,
Tyler

Nice Buck!

Posted By Tyler Allred
I happened across this nicer than average buck last night and took a few shots through the Swarovski spotting scope. I hope you like it.

Moon with Meade DSI

Posted By Tyler Allred
I just got my DSI a couple of days ago and had a chance to use it the other night. I decided to start with something easy, so I tried a few moon shots. Here is one showing a fairly large area. I'll let you all know how the DSI works out, when I get a chance to really put it to work.
Cheers,

99.77% Moon, from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello all. I took a few nearly full moon shots with my Coolpix tonight before the clouds rolled in. This image was taken through my 35mm Panoptic and was processed in Photoshop. Clear skies!
