Here are some images I took with my new Mintron K series ccd camera with a Vixen 2.4 extender C-mount The telescope is a Celestron SLT 80. I used Virtual Dub to capture and edit the AVI’s. Then I put the AVI’s into Registax played with the wavelets. After that I used Astra Image to bring out some detail over did them a bit. Then Paintshop Pro for the eye candy frames. I could only get small resolution pics about VCD quality 352x 288 not the full 542x586. I think it’s my cheap video capture card might have to invest in a better one. The stuff/lines at the top of the image is from aligning the images in registax as the image was jumping all over the place, as I haven’t fully work out how to track with the scope. This is my first attempt at astro imaging
