Friday 6th May Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

[rcwinter]

I managed to get out for a while on Friday albeit very high fast moving cloud

Everything was there although focusing was a chore andf tended to shadow portions of your image

However it was warm and a pleasure to be there with the birdies tweating and my cat spread out on the ground like Garfield

I tried with the Pier fully lowered and then at full height to see if it helped with atomspheric wobble, no luck

Here are a few from Yesterday, it may be sunny today however they have forcast rain later, lets roll the dice

Hope they come over ok

Very nice indeed, the 1150 image looks the best, some really nice fine detail in that one
It was a good film that

Hi Everyone

Many thanks for your kind comments, the image 1150 was taken at full res bin 1 with the 174 camera, I usually liked using bin 2 for frame speed, a few frames less but better detail, I will start using Bin 1 from now on, I am also looking at the Apollo Max 432 which appeals to me, I need to sell a few bits to get one.

It was a really nice day, although you were constantly imaging through high cloud, but I like the results too.

He’s to much more activity in the near future

You did really well on a cloudy day. Nice resolution on that last prom image!!

[marios i.]

Nice!!!

Nice results! I'd stick to 1x1 binning with the 174, 2x2 binning just undersamples and loses effective resolution.

Hi Mark

Yes I agree, hopefully out this Friday as it may be clear

Experimenting with stacking software

Happy days
