"Hi all,

Looks like Dave Tyler and Damian Peach are back from their imaging trip in Barbados. Here's a link to a preliminary image on Damian's site. Watch their sites over the next few days. Apparently they have over 600GB of files to process each!

Thanks for that link - Dave Tyler is an old astro buddy from back in the early 70s when I lived in UK. His web site has got contact details so I can get in touch - and tell him about IIS.

Ive still got an 8.5" mirror he made somewhere in my garage.

[davidpretorius]

no probs, the next few weeks will be a great time as these websites are updated.

striker and 1ponders will pay of course and we may even let them come if they pay for the trip!!

[davidpretorius]

[asimov]

Geez, you guys are slow, Lester & I are already there waiting for ya's! :)

[davidpretorius]

how are the laaaddddiiieess mate??

and the sunshine??

[h0ughy]

cant get sunburnt at night, wife will kill me, divorced and burnt equipment not taken!!!!!!! this might just be my only opporunity, she always said she wanted to go to a tropical island, might work on that, next year might be cheaper than driving to queensland for Astrofest!!!

http://users.bigpond.net.au/metaplace/home.html try this link Dave, then rethink the size of your scope

[davidpretorius]

yes, there is another guy Maurice Valimberti in melbourne but he has a c14 and a toucam that is doing fantastic stuff with toucams.

do we have anyone imaging planets with a 12" scope? mike and i are at 10" with 1250, obviously c9.25 are around etc. Visually, i loved the extra scale and light thru kens 12", but have never seem much high res planetary???

[ving]

isnt his image scale just a tad small? ;)

gunna have to bookmark those pages me thinks

[Striker]

Who's Damien Peach.......did he name the Orange or Mandarin...no strawberry.

Yes its a nice image but you guys are not far from it....

[asimov]

Theres too many chicky-babes here Davo! HELP!! We're having to fight them off with a stick! Got our backs up against a palm tree sippin' pinacolade's.....We could do with a hand!

[davidpretorius]

yeh right, i am not going to be the work experience kid that gets to hold the drinks whilst the extra hand you now have explores the softer parts of the aforementioned distractions!!!



.....what was that dear.... no i am working...alt-tab.....seee, i am not chatting with asimov, and i definately wasn't talking about girls....you are the only one for me.................why did i mention girls?...i do not have a guilty conscience......................... ....

Flick through old to fairly recent mags and books and see what the standard was its remarkable what is being produced nowadays especially with Dpeach being the Chuck Yeagher of planetary imaging :thumbsup:

David,

I use a 12 inch reflector to take high resolution lunar and planetary images. You can see them here.
