The best Imaging Software?

Posted By Adam Albino
Well, Moved on to a new computer running XP and found that my workhorse processing software - Bruce Johnston's SuperFix - will not work. Seems MS decided not to carry on that great tradition of using DOS as an OS frame :-)

Anyway, I'm going to continue to use it on an older laptop (It still is one of the best out there IMO), but I'd really like to have a processing software on the XP machine - Sooooooo... What is the best out there toay? PS?, M-DL/CCD? What say you all?????

From an Astrophoto standpoint What's the difference between the Canon EOS Digital Rebel, The Canon EOS 10D, and the Canon EOS 20D? What are the advantages/Disadvantages?

Re: Clear CCD condensation upon cooling

Posted By Adam Albino
I think most cooled CCD's have this problem. SBIG uses a little packet of condensation absorbing material next to the chip.

I've viewed 3C 273 many times in my 8" - and at least a few in the 6".

Re: DSI/Focal Reducer/W.O. Microfocuser Connection

Posted By Adam Albino
Well to get the full f3.3 the Meade FR uses an extension tube - I forget the length 15mm-33mm maybe? However the WO focuser is much longer so if you were to put the FR on first I think - even if you could get it to focus on the chip - would have a lot of distortion (IE the Reduction would be way less the 3.3). I'd bet that the way you did it first would be correct.

That said - no reason not to try and experiment - I have lots of FR's and Barlows, I stack, and place in different configurations all the time to see what works. No reason not to - it's fun!

Re: Do You Own An "Ad Astra" Mak?

Posted By Adam Albino
One sold years ago here on A-Mart (At least an ad). Saw one on the "other" site a few years back also. From time to time they come up. There was an article on one of his scopes (the 20" I believe you mentioned) in S&T a while back also....
