Hi everyone,

Sometimes conditions are very good after a good dose of rain to clean the atmosphere, well that was Not the case here. Tried anyway with different settings, tried the 50% brightness and 100 saturation with 80% gain= low contrast, colour and nice onions.

This one is my coloured capture recipe 5fps 75% gain 0% gama 50% saturation and 25% brightness. Be good to see what a DMK would do in these conditions, perhaps week after next when I get powered hub.

If you gave it a 3/10 I wonder what I would have given it.....had I bothered imaging, that is!

Great effort mate!

I think you'd be out there joop shootin' if it was -3/10 & .01% transparency

GRS & junior are that close it's not funny

Well done!

BTW you may rip up Asi-dorks formula/settings for the neximage & turf 'em in the bin. Thanks!

Thanks mate,

yea 3/10 was the peak of seeing. Humidity was high=90%+. Jupiter was doing the jellyfish swim.

Brave effort Lester, with surprisingly good results given the conditions you describe. I no longer get out of bed for anything less than 7/10.

Cheers

Dennis

I got my powered hub from streetwise.com.au. Ordered on Thursday, arrived on Monday.

Thanks, Dennis, Joe, David and Mike,

For your responces. Mike I have got Matthew Lovell looking into it for me. Hope he can get me a 12volt powered hub, because I run all things at the observatory off of car cig. plug. I couldn't find any on the net, obviously didn't look in the right places.
