Are you referring to the very small pointy projections coming from some of the stars, Terri? Greg

@terri Do you use software specific to the mount, Terri, or something else to set up the model? Wow, 20 minutes to get all that set up is amazing. F...

@terri Well, you know they say a picture is worth a thousand words? When I look at your images, I'd say you're excellent at this and your comments al...

@terri Yes, so far I really love the Askar scope! I'm starting to feel the 'pull' of a monochrome camera (plus all the additional $$ that goes with i...

@terri Thanks, Terri! I agree with all you said. Other than some increase in detail over my last processing, I'm still not happy with it but I gave ...

Beautiful image, Terri! Welcome back to snow-land. Hope you had a great time and enjoyed the dark skies with good seeing! Greg

Well, although I definitely overexposed the center of the image, this morning I was able to get full resolution (6248x4176) using my ASI2600MC with Sh...

@pwalker Yes, I have to say Antlia did a superb job of balancing everything with this triband filter, Paul. I don't get those weird color casts like ...

I tried this target again using an Antlia RGB Triband Ultra filter to see if I could capture more color this time around. The filter seemed to work g...

@pwalker Thanks, Paul. It seemed that without any filter, even with the camera gains (either one) set very low and the exposures set to a few millise...

I used a different camera today to capture some sun images: a ZWO ASI178MM (uncooled, monochrome) camera. (6.4 Mpx, 60 fps max) I also tried SharpCa...

@pwalker Beautiful image, Paul. I tried ImPPG for the first time today instead of Registax. ImPPG uses deconvolution rather than wavelets and I seem...

I was able to capture some images (videos) of the sun today. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture the entire sun even with a reducer in place since th...
