I'm thinking of buying a new laptop and interested in the MacBook Pro retina. I have a Imagining Source usb camera that is strictly for windows operating system. Does anyone know if this camera using their software and USB will work on a MBP will parallels installed? Will I have any trouble or probl...

Beautiful pics and vid you posted Alexandra. Wish I live to close so I can learn from the best!

hask

Ain't it fun 'new toys'? Enjoy when you can.

hask

One word: Awesome!

hask

I have to admit I'm a bit scared for IS put their fate into Celestron, their (Celestron) support is crap! Lets hope they keep it two separate indenties. And with this announcement of thier new cameras you'd think they'd invest into a 'Mac' version of the software but NO! Here's what they say: "...

hask

Thanks for sharing.

hask

Congrats! Nicely done.

hask

Yeah a photo would be nice.

hask

Wow thanks everyone, this is more than I expected!
I knew I couldn't accomplish this using the 'projection' method.
Now I can't wait to try, not sunny here today

Alexandra those sketches are really good. NICE!

marktownley thanks Mark.

hask

Thanks for the quick rely, hunterknox. Wow those Herschel Wedge aren't given away, will try the Badder Continuum then will see about the HW.

hask

My scope is a coronado solarmax II 60 mm can this be done? I also have and use a 90 mm refactor in which I use for solar projection and also for visual using a badder Planetarium film, I find it good for sun spots but never can I see the 'mottled texture'.

hask

I'm new here and been amazed by all the solar photography posted here,you guys and girls do some nice work! I have a question about 'non' photographic but a visual one. Is it possible to see the sun's surface details through the eyepiece, not talking about sun spots but more like the ones posted by ...

hask

That's pretty cool, I admire people who do that simply for fun.

hask

Thanks for sharing.

hask

84 Gigs of data! Hope you got a huge HD? Pretty cool.

hask

Those are beautiful, love the Prominence. May I ask what we're you using to capture those images?

hask

Pretty cool stuff sharing your passion with those kids. I'm sure they had fun.

hask

Wow beautiful pics, can't say which one I like the most they are all that great.

hask

lucky kids

Alexandra

They are hahaha

hask

Actually the camera was for light astronomy photography as I'm starting an astronomy club here at my local school. Thought I could use it for solar too. Last school day I brought a couple of sissy (lol) 'night time' scopes and and refactor for solar projection and my coronado SM, the kids loved it. ...

hask

great! I loved mine. I just gave it away with my last of 5 PC laptops to Marie Lott, the most recent Jon Wood Award winner... Now Im all iMacs in the outreach. I wish they made one big enough for 24 inch iMacs... I too ordered one, thanks. So your using a Mac, is that correct? If so, what software ...

hask

Here's my setup. It's not as elaborate as some of the others posted here but it works for me.
Coronado 60mm Solar Max II, DBK 41AU02.AS ccd camera, Astro-Tech Voyager Alt Az Mount with JMI micro-slew drive.

Ok we had a quick sunny break today 20min to be exact.

Adjusted the exposure level in IC software it helped a lot. Now to get the focus?

What's the next step?

Here's a snap shot:

hask

Thanks for the warm and sunny welcome Alexandra.

hask

its an illusion due to your foreground vision. The Sun and Moon are exactly the same size anywhere in the sky. Use your pinky or thumb to cover the Moon or Sun at Sunset or Sunrise, moonset/moonrise and then again when either are overhead. They are always the exact same size... That wouldnt make an...

hask

what is this about the Sun not being as big at 3 oclock as it is at sunset? Its always the same size. What do you mean?

newbie

it's an illusion the sun seems bigger at sunset due to earth atmosphere, am I right?

hask

well, it depends on which capture program you are using. If IC capture which came with the DBK camera, there should be an exposure, gain and saturation control on the capture screen. If your using some other program to capture these images, then I dont know. I strongly suspect something is fishy he...

hask

that looks to be extremely overexposed which will never focus. Try turning the exposure down to as low as it will go and then up until you just see the Sun. Where and how do I do that? :blush: It would be helpful if you could attach a picture of what your setup scope and camera looks like when you ...

Hi everyone First of all let me do a shout out to Stephen Ramsden and John Strong. I own a Coronado Solar MaxII 60mm and my beautiful wife bought me a DBK 41AU02.AS ccd camera. Everything works fine using eyepieces. Now here's my problems. 1) can't get the full sun to show on monitor screen. 2) can'...
