Hi Tom, My first response was "Wow!" which I followed up in my mind with the questions that Gene ask. Now I'm curious as to which model of their monochrome cameras do you have? Have you tried or is the camera capable of any good deep sky results (I'm guessing yes as max shutter is 60 minutes? Bottom line, do you like it? Have you looked at their color cameras? Etc, etc, etc.... Pleased advise...

Thanks for the tech notes, Tom... What camera did you > use, and were the resulting (posted at pbase) images stacked, or just > >individual< images? It's an Imaging Source DMK monochrome digital video camera. Three videos of 1000 frames each were shot at 15 frames per second through the R, G, and B filters, and typically the best 75% of the frames in each color channel were used for stacking in Registax software. By the way, a nice "pre-processor" video-editing software package before going into Registax is authored right here in the Valley by Howard Anderson. HandyAVI does a good job of sorting frames by quality level and resizing videos. It has a lot of other good features as well. http://www.azcendant.com/ Tom -- No virus found in this incoming message.
