Thanks very much Bird, this was one night where the direct effects of the Peltier was really quite amazing. Each time after I shut down the Pelt & fans, as the air currents stabilized the image just seemed to snap to reveal very crisp detail.

Nice work!
Thanks Mike, I think using Birds ninox program I can do a lot better with this data. What I have posted was processed with the sole purpose of revealing the source of the SED's outburst enough for positional identification to send to Georg Fischer, before I got some sleep.

Thanks very much Duncan, when I originally started with a DSI and then ToUcam my images didn't look much like these. We all have to start somewhere. I think the key is to be fanatical about collimation, focus and mirror temperature and to document everything that you do, every experiment with different setting with a comment on the result.

Thanks Michael, good data really does need very little processing, that said, by using Bird ninox program prior to Registax V5 a better result is possible but it takes a lot of time to run 30 avi's through Virtual Dub then ninox prior to Registax and then I do decon in Astra Image Pro and finish off in CS4. Thats fine if I don't have much data or if I have bad weather and don't image often but the norm out here is good weather and it tends to hold up for very long periods so some nights I may image over 4 or even 5 hour periods and end up with massive amounts of data.

I do intend reprocessing all of this data but it will likely take me weeks to do so.

Thanks very much JJJ, glad that you enjoyed these images. Not sure yet, but I may be coming up your way to the Astrofest.

Thanks Clayton, it was great to have some good seeing to coincide with the target region for the SED's being available to me.

Thanks Frank, I must admit that I am most fond of animations with my planetary data, I think it adds to the feel for the dynamics of what is going on.
