Re: Quick first light
Yes, this is from a new all-in-one SHG, with longer focal length than before. Hope it can give better spectral resolution.

Re: Coming back...
You may compress and upload the file to google drive or dropbox and let me have a try.

Re: Coming back...
What error did it show? Or it never prompt error when the file is over 3GB?

Re: Coming back...
Which file format and what size do you need?
As far as I remember, I was using an external library for avi format which cannot handle larger size files.
Then a newer version could handle mono-color ser files without problems (I guess).

Coming back...
After a long leave, I am now redesigning the spectroscopes and creating the parts by using a 3D printer.
Some optical glass slits have been used also, I hope the overall image quality can be improved.

Re: Coronado PST Etalon tuning anti-slip bearing modification
The PST uses compression tuning. The Teflon ring in the chamber is the main point of pressure. The silicone ring ( the orange foam) is designed to smash the etalon until it comes into tune. Since it never compresses evenly the silicone ring is trimmed and cut so that it applies pressure as evenly a...

LARGE diffraction grating 20g/mm
Two pieces of LARGE diffraction grating 20g/mm, about 10x10cm, with transparent protection covers.
Not sure how to use them, I guess they are Echelle gratings.
$50/piece + shipping
Sold as is.
Thank you all!

Re: Wah!'s solar eclipse photos
Amazing what you have accomplished, Wah! Your latest result is easily as good as Druckmuller’s famous pictures. Your Photoshop technique seems related to some of the multiresolution wavelet sharpening methods available in some image processing routines. Have you tried any of these? Cheers. Peter. I...

Total Solar Eclipse 2017 my final version
Based on Mr. Miloslav Druckmüller's HDR and ACHF method, I processed my images again trying to squeeze all the tiniest details from them, and finally got this final version.
Because this is a final version image, i post it here

Re: ISS Solar Transit 20171007
The camera ASI174MM theoretically can have 128fps, but I just could get about 100fps because of drop frames.

Thank you all! I took my EQ mount, telescopes, laptops and cameras to the eclipse, and the cameras where following the SharpCap Python scripts I prepared to capture different exposure frames (0.001-4s) during the 2 minutes totality. After coming home, I extracted the frames from SER video file with ...

Re: About ACHF solar corona processing
Steven Rosenow also got a VERY good result by his own processing technique, very close to ACHF result.
I wonder if he is in this forum?

About ACHF solar corona processing
I have been searching for the best total solar eclipse images, and found that the images by ACHF (created by Prof. Miloslav Druckmuller) seem to be the best of all. Is there anyone here have tried such filter? Prof. Miloslav Druckmuller's eclipse photos: http://www.zam.fme.vutbr.cz/~druck/Eclipse/Ec...

Re: Help - How do you create these composite eclipse shots?
You cannot use the "difference" option in layers to finish the task. 1. Duplicate the original image as another one 2. Radial blur the original image 3. Use new image to subtract the blurred image with 128 offset (gray) 4. Copy the subtracted image to clip board 5. Restore the original image and pas...
