Rotated 90deg. and cropped

Very nicely done Tony, what scope and camera did you use to get this.
Thanks

Also shot in Mojave. ~5 hours. I only had the exposure set to 400, probably should have bumped that up a bit. I did not process this with the "smoothing effect", but I added a radian blur of 1 in PS.

Very cool Brian, you're having way to much fun out there in the desert. Wish I could be there too.

Reprocessed the original AVI with Autostakkert2 selecting 30% of 9,000 frames. Moved into Registax6 to adjust wavelets and sharpness.
Resized in Photoshop and noise removed with Photoshop Gausian blur.
All in all, I like this shot.
Jim

Very nicely done Jim. I'm off to the mountain Saturday night and see if I can get out from under the Marine layer.

Give are take a few days...it has been 5 weeks since we had a night with limited clouds and no showers predicted. Today - there were none - so I fired up the Vixen with the Quark Chromosphere - along with the ASI174MM-C camera and took close to 30,000 frames of the sun - surface, proms, and flats. So now I have something to process.

....and tonight - if the clouds steer clear - the wide field on the right will be fixed first on the Hercules cluster, M13 - then on to Rho Oph for some narrowband.

You sure can't tell it from the pic but I only have two wires from the scope now....data and power for each. No more snags or worries during an unattended flip!

Good luck Ed hope to see the results from y'all.

A buddy I have on the west coast complained the image was too blah, so I brightened it up a touch...

Shot the Moon, Jupiter and Jupiter's Moons last night with the full spectrum Sony RX10 III, tripod mounted.

The attached image is a composite of three stacks of subs processed in RegiStax:
- Moon & Jupiter: best 4 of 12x1/8sec (177mm, f/4, ISO100),
- Moon: best 5 of 15x1/640sec (600mm, f/4, ISO100),
- Jupiter & Moons: best 5 of 19x1/4sec (600mm, f/4, ISO400).

Composite put together in Photoshop.

Enjoy!

That's really cool Brian I like the insert.

220 Seconds ISO 400 on Canon T5i with Rokinon 14mm, tracking with Ioptron SkyTracker. As before, the foreground was PS in from an earlier photo. I also got a little creative moving rocks around.

Beautiful work Brian.

All shot with Celestron C8 SCT on a Celestron CGEM mount using a Celestron 236C color CMOS camera.

1 Minute videos at 1024 X 768 at 90 frames per second.
Processed the videos in Autostakkert2 and stacked 20% of the frames.
Processed the resulting Tiff file in Registack6 to adjust the wavelets.
Took that file into Photoshop CC and adjusted the size, crop and white balance.
Here are a few of last nights shots.
Jim

More great work Jim.

Thank you very much Craig.
I played a little bit with the camera setup and the ICAP software light balance.
Getting closer.
Jim

Your light balance in the whole sphere is excellent and you picked up one of the moons too.

Celestron C8 on my CGEM mount.
Celestron 236C color CMOS at 640 X 480 shooting 100 FPS
Stacked 20% of 6,000 frames and processed in RegiStax6 with final sizing and polish in Photoshop CC.
Seeing was off and on good and this set was during a pretty decent window in the haze and high thin clouds.
Mr Moon was just coming over the mountains and made for an interesting session.

Jim

Now that's a red spot alright, well done Jim.

This was a different process.
I imaged this with the Celestron C8 but I used the Celestron 236C CMOS and did 12 30 second exposures and stacked 8 of them.
This is the resulting shot.
I was mildly surprised by this.
BTW, this is a big file.
Jim

Nice work Jim.

A couple quick shots, the shot with the rocks was taken separately and PS’ed in.

Great job Brian, I've not been to the desert with my scope but I'd like to something.

This is the shot of Jupiter I was finally able to pull once the winds started to die out.
Celestron C8 SCT on a CGEM mount and imaged with a Celestron 236C CMOS camera.
1 minute videos at 80 fps giving me almost 6,000 frames to evaluate at 1024 X 768.
I stacked 40 percent in Autostakkert2 and tweaked in Registax6 wavelets.
I don't know if this is the little red spot or not but it might be?
The GRS is moving off field of view to the right.
Jim

PS...
Tonight is out thanks to two large forest fires South and West of me.
Winds have brought the smoke over Albuquerque and making it pretty hazy.
Jim
This is the shot of Jupiter I was finally able to ... (show quote)

Nicely done Jim. Sorry to hear about the fires.
