Hey Chris, Planetary imaging revolves around seeing. The strategy is to be at the camera when seeing is above average. I use clear sky clock, Unisys Weather, Weather Underground and Meteoblue to

Dan; I have near the same setup as yourself (Televue barlow instead of Zeiss) but get much fuzzier images. My biggest difficulty is getting focus with the Imaging Source camera. The problem I have is

Turned out well for average seeing with sprinkles of sharpness. http://www.astrobin.com/85856/ http://www.astrobin.com/85856/ or

Very fine! Keep them coming... Stan

Everything worked perfectly. Good seeing and weather here, good weather there (some interesting clouds on Mars, no huge dust storms) and lots of my favorite features on the side of Mars facing earth

There is no requirement for spherical SCT secondaries to be centered w.r.t. the primary apart from enabling uniform field illumination. This is because, being a sphere, a decentered secondary can have

Stan Thanks for responding. I use metaguide software and webcam to get very fine infocus collimation nailed in my poor seeing. Defocused the doughnut is not centered though...i guess cause the mirror

It may be of little or no consequence because the spherical secondary need not be exactly centered for optical integrity. SCTs are fairly tolerant of both secondary decenter and primary tilt. "Edge

My secondary holder is not centered in my 8" Edge. Here are the measurements as measured with digital callipers from the secondary mirror's Fastar retaining ring to the inside edge of the lens

No, I use the ZWO 120 mm (monochrome) camera with filters. I have a color camera but don’t really use it. Thanks! Brian Sent: Monday, March 03, 2014 12:03 PM To: C14_EdgeHD@... Subject:

Very nice! (I may have to visit Georgia someday <g>). Since you use a Bayer cam, I presume those individual R,G,B are deconstructions? Your web site "equipment" sections has no mention of C-14 and you

Decent seeing for a while last night for Mars. Note the clouds over Olympus Mons and Tharsis. http://www.bcastropics.com/img/gallery/3/2014-03-02-0657_9-RGB3-set_full.jpg

Christian, I have a 9.25" Celestron. ?It's about 20 years old, has been stored in my den and totally out of the weather and very lightly used. ?I don't know what an OSLO model is, however. ?Mine is

Dear All, This link might be of interest for those wanting to turn their Celestron into a large size H alpha solar telescope :

Yes, I agree with the wind problem for a C14... well any scope for that matter but the bigger OTAs really catch it. That's why I have my "tent" setup when I go portable... I think there are some shots

Hi All, I am looking for the OSLO models of the Celestron C9.25 and C9.25 Edge-HD. Does anybody know where I can find something ? Thanks ! Christian Viladrich

Hi Dave, Yes, the C14 is quite heavy for the DDM60. But I did manage to trim down, replacing the heavy STL with a FLI ML and getting rid of my rotator. But the wind is still a factor with the large

would only take them into the boonies if it is for more than one night. Agree. For my portable setup, I have all the computers etc in a small utility trailer and set up a 10x10 EMT box that I use as a
