Clavius Crater - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. It has been some time since I posted anything on this forum. The weather has been dreadful! However, last night was clear and the skies were quite steady, so I tried a little lunar imaging. Here is the result.

Info:
Takahashi CN-212 @ F/24 on Losmandy G-11 with Toucam 840 Pro
Acquired using K3CCDTools
Processed with Registax - 7 alignment points

Byrgius and Rimae Darwin - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I had another clear night so I tried a little lunar work. The moon was nearly full, but I found a target that I liked. This image is the Rimae Darwin area, and it is very near the limb. I like the perspective of the view.
Cheers,
Tyler

Questions about Lumenera Cameras

Posted By Tyler Allred
Does anyone know the difference between the Lumenera LU135M and the Infinity 2-1 Monochrome cameras? Is one more sensitive than the other? Is there some other difference?

I sure wish the sensitivity was actually listed in the specs instead of just saying it is "high". I am trying to decide whether to go with a firewire camera or pony up the extra bucks for a USB-2 Lumenera. Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tyler

HELP!!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I would like to get a motorized focuser for my Tak CN-212, for both Newt and Cass modes. Does anyone know if this is possible? It seems that every focuser I look at lists the CN-212 as the scope it doesn't work with!! I know I will need some adapters to allow the focuser to attach to the unusual size threads, but I just don't know what ones to get. Ideally, I would like to use the same focuser at both ends of the scope, but by using different adapters. I could use any help you can offer.
Thanks,
Tyler

Saturn from Utah - Finally a good night!!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I finally got a night with clear skies and decent seeing conditions. I nearly froze my rear end off, but I managed several decent videos sequences. Here is the first one I processed. I am quite pleased with the result.
Cheers,
Tyler

First Light Saturn from Utah - 2/20/2006

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. The luminance for this image is first light from my new Infinity 2-1M and the color is from my Toucam 840. The images were acquired using Infinity Capture, processed in Registax 3, and combined in Photoshop CS. I am not sure about the new camera yet.... time will tell.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - Scope was my Takahashi CN-212 at F/30

Question for Paolo and/or others HELP!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello.
I have used my Infinity 2-1M a couple of times and I seem to be having a problem with the images that I am getting. Here is an example that shows the trouble. It is a stack of 1300 frames, and it shows that I get some unusual diagonal lines that destroy the quality of the image whenever I try to sharpen the stacked image. I have no idea why these lines are present. Is it a result of some interlacing or an interference pattern of some sort? Something else? Any help that others can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler

Question for Luca

Posted By Tyler Allred
Luca,
I tried using Lucam Recorder last night and it seemed to work great, but when I drag and drop the images (tifs) into Registax they appear pure black. I know that the images are OK because I can look at them in other programs, but they don't show up in Registax. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Tyler
