Not overly impressed with these ones. Look better as a thumbnails!

The first one is just 'normal processing' second one has noise reduction & slight sharpening in Neatimage. The one without looks better to me, what do you think guys?

Same again with an AVI taken just after..

the saturn is killer

And again. No extension tube this time...

Thanks Kearn, hows your health?

One more time....Sorry guys, but I'm making up for lost time.

2 weeks without imaging is like death!

No extension tube. This looks like the way to go for crisper images on this planet.

I'm doing fine John, thanks mate

that 9.25 does indeed rock - its working out beautifully

strange to think that C9.25 is related to my mates old C8, that is an absolute joke *visually* on planets, when compared to my newts

but then thats the beauty of tracking and stacking I guess
how does it stand up visually to your newt mate? (i know visual is out of fashion along with log cabins, or so i read?)

Asi, slow down...we're choking on your dust

Amazing picks, I've never seen so much detail in the polar regions... very peculiar, and impressive

asimov (John) · #11 09-04-2006, 05:20 PM

In truth Kearn, I just don't do the visual thing now. Since having it, I've only looked at Saturn at some ridiculous magnification (600X) just to check the collimation. Did a respectable job @ that mag.

The Parks newt blows it out of the water for crispness of detail on Saturn at least. Must do some deep sky & compare the results hey.

No! One of my mates is building log cabins..

..their still the bee's-knee's!

Robert, peculiar you say? I thought it was the norm. I used to get a lot of polar detail with the refractor as well...

...thinking, thinking.....
