my first go with a gstar ex3

[h0ughy (David)]

well i had my very first outing with my "new" gstar ex3 earlier this evening. my oh my what a challenge it made me look far side of ordinary, an exponential learning curve

used toupsky 3.7 and i was well and truly in newby territory

so this is with the 127ED at prime focus a series of 5 panel mosaic
don't look for the tetonic plates , the smudgy sky or the horrible processing

Looks pretty sharp and detailed to me David.

Good luck with the new camera.

thanks Richard. i primarily bought this camera just for the planets and moon but it also allows a sneaky peek at the deep stuff to, but you need to have a different mentality to get the bugger working. the sucker hole in the high cloud last night did just that.

that's all post processing, but getting it to work in the first place was an interesting venture

Full res is awesome David.

These are great grab and go cameras and very sensitive. With a fisheye lens you get a great meteor cam.

making these up with close shots to make a mosaic is the key. must learn to do better

John.

really - that sounds great. question how do you capture it or only watching the screen?

[John Hothersall]

I don't know what software you use but if you can Bin the image it can be very sensitive. I would see if you can do 30min sequences at 4fps .

The GstarEx3 takes great Jupiter images. Those small pixels really show well on the moon.
