Avalanche!!

Posted By Tyler Allred
The weather here in Utah has been perfect for huge avalanches. These two photos show avalanches in Provo Canyon, which I drive every day. The second one closed the road yesterday and forced me to go home through Park City and Salt Lake City instead of coming through the canyon.

This photo shows Bridal Veil Falls, which often has bad avalanches. Just for scale.... a person standing by the falls would not be visible in this photo. They would be much too small to see. Notice that the slide has closed off the Provo River and is forcing it up over the road at the bottom of the photo. I would guess that the snow is over 100 feet deep in places.

Heron Pics

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here are a couple of photos from today. The heron didn't want to fly because of the rain (I guess). Thus, I got pretty close before he flew off.

Saturn with a C5

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello all. I used my little C5 for some planetary imaging because my Ultima 2000 is in the shop. At any rate, here is a stack of frames from a short avi taken last night. The optics on the C5 are pretty good, and despite the small image scale, I was able to seperate the Cassini division all the way around.
Cheers,
Tyler

AR720 today

Posted By Tyler Allred
Taken with my C5 and Toucam. The conditions were pretty turbulent. I may do better looking for a single good frame, but here is a small stack.
Cheers,

MONS HUYGENS Region

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here is a wide field shot of the Mons Huygens mountain region. The larger craters are (BOTTOM TO TOP) ERATOSTHENES, TIMOCHARIS, ARCHIMEDES, AUTOLYCUS, AND ARISTILLUS. This image was first light with my new Tak Sky90. The high thin clouds wouldn't allow viewing of much else.

East Bank of Mare Nubium

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is another wide shot of an interesting area of the moon, taken with my new Sky90. I particularly like Rupes Recta, the straight scarp near the bottom of the frame, and the ledges on Arzachel (which Mike Wirth shows so beautifully in his recent image).
Cheers,

Saturn from Utah - 01-20-05

Posted By Tyler Allred
I got the Ultima 2000 back from Celestron repair today. I'll report on that later.... :C , but at least they got the optics back into shape. Here is a try at Saturn from tonight, with average seeing conditions. This is a stack of 1630 frames.
Cheers,

Clavius from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here another image from last night that turned out OK. This is a stack of about 700 frames, processed in Registax 3.

Question..... Help!!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello all. I am having some trouble with the processing of my large AVI files. It seems that I can only handle 2319 frames before something chokes. K3CCDTools will at least continue with the processing, but without including any frames after that number. Registax runs up to that point, and then just gives me an error message that say it failed to expand the frame.... and it stops running. I can't even use Registax for my larger AVI's. The recent Saturn image that I posted was from an AVI with well over 3000 frames, but I could only use 2319 of them. I assume that this problem may be linked to a memory issue, but I can't figure out what to do. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone out there have a solution? I would appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Tyler

Another Saturn Attempt

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here is another try at Saturn with the Ultima 2000 under 5/10 seeing conditions. I sure wish I could get good seeing conditions for a night, just to see what the Ultima can do under such circumstances. This is a stack of 300 images, using K3CCDTools and a Toucam 840 to acquire the images, and Registax 3 for processing.
Cheers,
Tyler
