Seeing was pretty damn good to break out the Esprit 150 this morning. Looking forward to more activity in the near future.
Camera is the ASI174MM

Re: Feb 26 2021 - Daystar Gemini & Esprit 150
Heya,
Lovely captures!
Your seeing was somwhere around 1.2~1.4 arc-second to resolve this probably, so I'd say your seeing was quite good for day time!
Interesting processing; do you have anything not inverted?
Would like to know more about your processing.
Very best,
Lovely captures!

I already do timelapse animations. You can find them on my Instagram.justapictureposter wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 11:35 pm You have a very noteworthy etalon, and the telescope you are using with it is probably the best money can buy.
Your processing skill is also up to par with the standard , so I think you are ready to make some time-lapse animations with the Ferrari you have invested in
you have mastered the still frame.

Here's one so you dont have to hunt for one:

Re: Feb 26 2021 - Daystar Gemini & Esprit 150
Generally, i prefer to invert the images but keep the background black. It makes for a better image in terms of what the surface looks like. I know it's not true to what we see, but it doesnt have the same impact. Everyone is different.MalVeauX wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 10:35 pm Heya,
