Partial from Bundaberg in HA

[asimov (John)]

Well I stuffed my DSLR attempt up. I took a series of shots but I wasn't quite at optimum focus

Not to be outdone, the earliest I can do any PST HA on any given day right now is just past 10AM due to a massive tree, but at least it's a passable result for the Astro-scrapbook.

Nice one Asi

[h0ughy (David)]

well you got the dark bit - thats always hard to focus on

nice work though

[asimov (John)]

Found out that the focus ring on the 55-250 lens is loose...Focus changed every time the shutter went off. Not sure how to fix that one!

[iceman (Mike)]

Love the Ha shot! Beautifully sharp.

[Paul Haese]

Nice images John. Did you manage to get any proms in the Ha data?

[Star Catcher (Ted Dobosz)]

Well Done John. You do really nice work with the DSLR. Seems like pretty good focus.

Ted

Thanks guys, the PST was an afterthought after realizing I'd mucked the DSLR shots up! Ted, the DSLR shot is out of focus slightly, but IMO as good as a mile out of focus! It's crap. Some of the first shots were ok though but it's due to the focus ring that has stuffed the shots after image 3.

Paul the proms will be there, but I just haven't got around to doing a separate processing run for those yet. Later.

Ripper PST shot Asi, they really do punch above their weight.

Cheers

[asimov (John)]

Hey thanks Trevor. Despite the high winds today, the seeing was good. Can't wait for excellent seeing with this PST!

[rowena]

do some googling on the focus, otherwise it might be time for a service on the lens!

Love the HA shot!

Finally the widebay is getting some decent weather when most important!

[asimov (John)]

Thanks Rowena. After thinking about it, I can fix the lens myself

[ourkind (Carlos)]

Beautiful HA shot

Here's one of the first DSLR images before the lens focus problem. Shot through light cloud obviously.

is that cloud drifting through the shot?

[asimov (John)]

Here's a quick 'N dirty animation..Smaller the better for out of focus shots

[batema (Mark)]

All fabulous. Great shots.

[Derek Klepp]

Good animation Asi wish the weather had been more co-operative here.

[U.K.Cowboy (Stuart)]

Great stuff John! Love the animation. All the exciting stuff happens in Oz its not fair!

[asimov (John)]

Thanks guys but IMO the animation is dirty, man That's ok though..I forgive the weather gods their sins, & the DSLR focus ring as well if I have to..
