Maxscope 40 closeup

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

I am still learning how to process the Sun with my equipment, but this is my best try so far. The scope is the little tiny Maxscope 40 and the camera is
the Nikon 5000. I still need to learn how to blend the
two pictures together, but I am getting there. Any tips are always welcome.

Mars with a 3.5 inch scope

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

I setup my little Televue 85 last night and shot Mars with it. I took a minute of video with a Toucam Pro webcam and a 5X Powermate. Processed in Registax and Photoshop.

Mars with another C-8

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

Well I finally got some detail out of Mars. I haven't figured out how to align the images yet and I don't have an infared filter, but I am happy:-) C-8 with 2.5X Powermate, 1 minute of video, stacked in Registax.

Where to get Mars filters for webcam

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

I have been noticing that a lot of people are using a Baader U/V infared blocking filter and a magenta filter on their Toucam Pro webcams when imagine Mars. I would like to know where I could buy both of those filters. If anybody has a distrubuter and part numbers please send them to me or post here.
Thanks

Best Mars for me yet!

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

I just got my new Baader UV-IR-Cut-Filter in yesterday and decided to try it out. I think it made a huge difference. Ultima 2000 8" SCT, 2.5X powermate.

M13 with the 10D

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

Here is my first attempt at M13 with my new 10D. It is just one single image. I will try to stack some later to get more detail out of it. I used a Televue 85 and did a 30 second exposure at ISO 1600. I processed with Images Plus, Photoshop, and Neat Image.

Mars rotating

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

Here is a little Mars animation I shot a few days ago. It took a while to process on my slow laptop. 5400 frames. You can see it here: http://www.pbase.com/image/20179133/original
