Starship Asterisk*

hi guys, here is a most recent image taken with the 9" tmb folded apo. it renders one of my favourits I was very long looking forward to image. NGC 772 is a disturbed Sb-galaxy in the constellation "aries". the samll ellliptical galaxy in the image just below the large 772 is ngc 770....

...I'm a bit late with my response - but please let me thak you guys!

hi Noe,

this image is terrific! congratulations!
...the answer to your question is: I simply have no clue,...but I guess even the ELT would be too small,...*g*

best regards,
Dietmar

hi guys, I had a hunch when I saw the APOD of today (22scd) that there might be some discussion going on...but I do not understand why it must be so emotional...? I consider myself to be a very serious astro-photographer and when I achieve a decent result, I am eager to get it published as an APOD, ...

hello everyone, I feel encouraged to present this image - hopefully as a candiadate for NASA APOD. It took me more than a month to acquire the essential data on the object, as weather is no reliable partner here at my place. in a bit more than 4 nights conditions were useful to image that PN: seeing...

hi Henk, I was not aware NASA APOD is intending to teach ... :wink: I just thought there must be lots of gorgeous images submitted to APOD people, that are sure worth being posted. it does not bother me at all, since this specific APOD of today is such a wonderful rendition of that very sky-area. it...

exactly the same words and the same image.

I wonder why?

...thanx Indigo for the nice words on my recent image! much appreciated. sorry if I bothred you with "fellow"...though. :oops: BTW: here is a special crop - seperatly processed with a bit more detail: http://www.stargazer-observatory.com/3718-crop.html http://www.stargazer-observatory.com/...

hi fellows, after a long time of harsh weather conditions, saturday night made it up to me with almost perfect transparency and terrific seeing! I had collected some data on this object before, but not enough to process a decent image. finally I got 9 hours of total exposure time and here is the res...

hello deepsky enthusiasts, interacting galaxies are most fascinating objects on the night sky. I intended to image these pair of nice galaxies for a long time and waited until seeing was truly decent. Date: 10.2.2008- seeing 6-8/10; transp. 6-7/10 Scope: 9" TMB Apo f/9 CCD: SXV H16 L: 15x9 min;...

hi folks, this rarely imaged planetary nebula is located in taurus and it is not really bright... (-: I imaged it with 2 different CCDs: - luminance: SXVF H36; 9" tmb apo f/18 using a 2" 2* powermate (image scale 0.4 arc"/pix) 2 hours exp time -- 10 min subframes - color: SXVF M25C; f...

hi friends, I have conducted an experiment with a monochromatic CCD and a barlow lens I attached to my f/9 system. seeing met my intentions to do some HR DSI that very night, luckily. curious enough to see, that aligning the luminance frames taken at f/18 was very hard to achieve, as r,g,b was taken...

hi friends of DSI, weather was nasty for more the last 2 months of 2007. but - everything ends and so does bad weather... I started M76 in an almost perfect night! 1.11.07 - we had terrific seeing and transpareny. (8)-9/10 ! but that night moon came up high in the sky so I had to stop after 2 hours ...

thanks Vision

hi Iampete, well, stephan's quintet consits of NGC 7317, 7318A/B, 7319, and 7320. they are said to be located in a distance of abour 250 mio lightyears away and they display gravimetric interaction with one another - except ngc 7320. she is supposed to be a "true" member of the deerlick gr...

...guys, I believe Yuri at al. did not do that on purpose, which the term "fake" would imply. I believe they just processed noise that was in their raws. sure - trhe effort they took is great, and lots of their planetary images are really outstanding, take a look on their recent mercury im...

...thanks Fiery Ice!

regards from Austria,

this is an image I have taken with my 9" TMB Apo under perfect seeing conditions. also transparency was at its very best, providing a night sky with stars visible at 6.5 to 6.7 !!! I also saw M33 bare eyed - never encounteres any comparable night before. some data: Date: 13.+14.8.2007 - seeing ...

hello deepskyfriends, let me introduce my most recent image to You. I have taken the picture with the Starlight Xpress SXV H16 CCD and astronomik filters. my 9" TMB Apo f/9 gives me a great time imaging with it. it`s high contrast power enables some decent images,... :D date: 14.4.2007 location...

hello Community, I`m very happy to present my recent result. actually it is my very first LRGB image. I was pretty much used to one shot color Cams - see last post (SX M25C) date: 9.+10.4.2007 seeing and transparency 7/10 CCD: Starlight Xpress SXV H16 FingerLake Filterwheel with Astronomik Filters 9...

hi everybody, I have signed up to this group I have been navigated to by a close friend of mine. my name is dietmar Hager, I`m an Austrian amateurastrofotographer, living in Linz. my observatory is some 35 km north at 700m sealevel. I use 3 TMB Apos there. 9" f/9, 5"f/9 and 4"/f6,2. a...
