Hello and next phase of my astro journey

[gcrisp01]

Hello Everyone
I have been a member for a while and enjoyed reading about what other members have been doing, but never posted anything. I have now built a couple of allsky cameras based on Raspberry Pi, Astroberry and Allsky software. These seem to be working fine. I have some telescopes and mounts but am now rationalizing the equipment based on more portability. Hope to add some more comments over the coming months.
Regards, Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Welcome to the madness!

The images you've posted so far look good, and I'm rather jealous that you've been to Antartica.

Cheers,
V.

Thanks V
Antarctica was a once in a lifetime trip and well worth it. Didn't get a chance for any night sky photography or aurora viewing as 22 hrs of daylight!
Regards
Geoff

idk whether this is the place to ask, but I have taken about 1000 frames of saturn from my sv305 camera and wanna know which software I can use to stack the frames to get a good image. Thanks

It's a pity no one has replied yet. This is a widely used software suite: http://www.astronomie.be/registax/download.html


By way of making this a more useful and complete answer, if you were stacking deep sky images, then I would suggest:

It seems a little counter intuitive, but planetary images behave differently to deep sky ones, hence the different software.


Hope this information is useful to someone.

Astronomers are not inflicted with madness, pranay.
It's the milling hordes who require light that blots out the night sky, and who refuse to look up from their phones at the night sky, that are the ones inflicted with madness.
Astronomy is quiet, calm, peaceful.
