Here's a stack of stacks with Jupiter de-rotated using Winjupos. I've never seen much out of this but it seems to smooth out some of the noise. No...

Thanks Scott!

Great shots Greg!! I have not done eyepiece projection for a long time. Very cool process.

Scott, nice shots. One thing you can do in post processing is align color channels, which is what an ADC will do for you while doing visual. If yo...

Thank you Greg. I've been watching as well, it will be my last chance for a couple of weeks as I'll be out of state. The way my luck is, you'll pr...

Thanks Peter for the kind words and great to hear from you! Well i'm never sure how much is due to me versus seeing. This is not something I've d...

Here's another stack. I am going to try a de-rotation of images around this time and see if it gets me more. So far, I haven't seen much benefit. ...

I forgot about your stand alone guider setup, I understand now. You need a makeover! Dealing with just 6.5 or mag 7 stars must be tough!

Ron, thank you so much! Good to see you on the forum! Terri

Thanks Greg, I do like the galaxy, but it's suffering from the same smearing as the stars. But I did get descent color and exposure with the OSC. ...

You know Paul, for 40" of focal length you really do not need a very long guide scope. I'd replace that SCT guide scope with a short tube 60 to 80mm ...

Thanks Paul, i did a linear deconvolution to try to minimize the elongated stars. I also did a separate processing of stars and galaxy which helped p...

Tried fixing stars and think I made them worse.  NGC6946_small.jpg
