is it a UHTC diagonal ?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Grant, if you can find out if it is the model # 929 or 930, being one a refractor style and the other SCT style, they are both UHTC...



Clear skies!

More images or processing?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Dave, as a suggestion...

1. Try to stack more images, as most of us get 500+ stacked.
2. Increase your Image Scale by using a barlow lense (2x, 3x)
3. Play with Registax's Wavelets when done stacking, they can help you bring up much detail, hidden in your image.
4. Post-Processing sometimes includes adjusting brightness, contrast, levels, saturation, sharpening filters, normally done in Photoshop or PaintShop Pro.



Take care, and keep it up!
